Encyclopedia > Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome

Advanced sleep phase syndrome (ASPS) is a sleep disorder in which patients feel very sleepy early in the evening (e.g. 18:00-19:00) and wake up very early in the night (e.g. midnight, 1:00, etc.).


It is the opposite of delayed sleep phase syndrome.


ASPS is frequently encountered in the elderly and in post-menopausal women. It can be treated pharmacologically, with evening bright lights, or behaviorally with chronotherapy or free-running sleep.

Limit-setting sleep disorder is more common for children who are fully ambulatory and have developed receptive and expressive language skills (typically after age 2).
Overnight sleep studies involve observing a child's sleep in a sleep laboratory in order to better understand problems that could be causing the sleep disorder.
