- Abstract
AbstractIn this study, two females, siblings who exhibited a non-24 h sleep–wake rhythm (non-24 h) at home were observed. However, they showed a delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS) immediately after admission to Kurume University Hospital. Melatonin (3 mg) was commenced following chronotherapy and this improved their sleep–wake rhythm.1,2 Polysomnography (PSG) showed decreased sleep latency and increased sleep stage.4 In these cases, the involvement of environmental factors was strongly suggested for the sleep–wake rhythm abnormalities as well as familial factors.
