Insomnia: Insomnia is a medical problem that should be discussed with your doctor. Anxiety, substance use (alcohol, caffeine, chocolate), shift work, poor schedule, and over stimulation are but a few of the common causes of insomnia.

Delayed sleep phase: This is a circadian rhythm sleep disorder affecting the timing of sleep and peak period of alertness. People with dspd generally fall asleep some hours after midnight and have difficulty waking up in the morning. Bright light in the morning and melatonin in the evening can help.
