Editing Advanced sleep phase disorder (section)

==Treatment==
Once diagnosed, ASPD may be treated with bright [[light therapy]] in the evenings, or behaviorally with [[chronotherapy]], in order to delay sleep onset and offset. The use of pharmacological approaches to treatment are less successful due to the risks of administering sleep-promoting agents early in the morning.<ref name=":25">{{Cite journal|last1=Dodson|first1=Ehren R.|last2=Zee|first2=Phyllis C|date=2010|title=Therapeutics for Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders|journal=Sleep Medicine Clinics|volume=5|issue=4|pages=701–715|doi=10.1016/j.jsmc.2010.08.001|issn=1556-407X|pmc=3020104|pmid=21243069}}</ref> Additional methods of treatment, like timed [[melatonin (medication)|melatonin]] administration or [[hypnotic]]s have been proposed, but determining their safety and efficacy will require further research.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Zhdanova|first1=Irina V.|last2=Vitiello|first2=Michael V.|last3=Wright|first3=Kenneth P.|last4=Carskadon|first4=Mary A.|last5=Auger|first5=R.

Social obligations may cause an individual to stay up later than their circadian rhythm requires, however, they will still wake up very early. If this cycle continues, it can lead to chronic sleep deprivation and other [[sleep disorders]].{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}
