Umm . . . just sounds like this is people who have fallen into a bad sleeping pattern. I find it hard to wake up on time when i fall asleep at 4am too.
That's how I felt when I first read about this syndrome too, but then I read that someone with DSPS can't go to bed at a "normal" time, no matter how hard they try. As a college student, I've had pretty messed up sleep schedules at times. My freshman year, I'd often go to bed at 4 AM and get up around 11. But, if I needed to, (such as when I was at home with my parents, who expected me to go to bed at 10 PM), I could go to sleep earlier. That is the difference between me and someone with DSPS.
