The goal is just to be awake, no other effects. Focus/concentration was excellent before - never a problem - but becomes extreme. i.e., 4 hours editing a photo - computer crash - no annoyance - restart - 4 more hours editing the same photo - day over. 1 don't think it's the right choice. This is the real problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed sleep.phase disorder -Attempting to force oneself onto daytime schedule with DSPD has been compared to constantly living with 6 hours of jet lag -People with DSPD cannot simply force themselves to sleep early. They may toss and turn for hours in bed, and sometimes not sleep at all -They usually have tried many times to change their sleeping schedule. Failed tactics to sleep at earlier times may include maintaining proper sleep hygiene relaxation techniques early bedtimes, hypnosis, alcohol sleeping pills, dull reading, and home remedies. -DSPD patients who have tried using sedatives at night often report that the medication makes them feel tired or relaxed, but that it fails to induce sleep. Impact on patients: EFTA00943622 Lack of public awareness of the disorder contributes to the difficulties experienced by people with DSPD, who are commonly stereotyped as undisciplined or lazy. By the time DSPD sufferers receive an accurate diagnosis, they often have been misdiagnosed or labelled as lazy and incompetent workers for years. Misdiagnosis of circadian rhythm sleep disorders as psychiatric conditions causes considerable distress to patients and their families, and leads to some patients being inappropriately prescribed psychoactive drugs. For many patients, diagnosis of DSPD is itself a life-changing breakthrough. EFTA00943623
