The difference between local and sun time, which we designate by Solar Jet Lag (SoJL), depends on location within a time zone and can range from zero to several hours. Daylight Saving Time (DST) simply adds one hour to SoJL, independent of location. We hypothesized that the impact of DST, is particularly problematic in patients with Delayed Sleep-Wake Pha...
