A member asked:
Would moving to a different time zone help a person deal with dsps (delayed sleep phase syndrome)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The problem is not as simple as the problem of being in the wrong time zone. Rather the problem is that the person is not responding appropriately to the cues in their environment that should be synchronizing their rhythms to the current time zone. In other words, a move would relatively quickly end up with the same delayed sleep phase.
