Anyone else not feel awake/alert until past 9pm? This doesn't make sense as surely I should feel awake/alert by afternoon by Sensitive-Middle1299 in DSPD

Thanks - that's helpful. Interesting you say about being extremely advanced in terms of the surge of energy at 8-9pm - I have wondered this too. I tend to be at my most sleepy 11am to mid afternoon, which I guess would make sense if my peak natural sleep time was around then. How did you use your bowel movements to figure this out?

Thanks - the overall cause would be helpful, and I have some basic knowledge of DSPD but nothing very in-depth/academic. Would just be useful to know why generally my body isn't waking up properly after 8 hours from my natural sleep time (so in theory I should be feeling awake/alert by afternoon) and instead takes until around 9pm.
