delayed sleep phase
A condition that occurs when the clock hour at which sleep normally occurs is moved back in time within a given 24-hour sleep-wake cycle. This results in a temporarily displaced, that is delayed, occurrence of sleep within the 24-hour cycle. The same term denotes a circadian rhythm sleep disturbance, called the delayed sleep phase syndrome.
