Who is this surgery for?
- Persistent inability to fall asleep at a desired conventional bedtime (e.g., before 2 AM).
- Extreme difficulty waking up in the morning for school, work, or social obligations.
- Feeling most alert and energetic during late evening and night hours.
- Significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning due to the sleep schedule.
- When the delayed sleep pattern is not caused by another medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition, or substance abuse.
How to prepare
- Maintain a detailed sleep diary for a minimum of two weeks, recording bedtime, wake time, and sleep quality.
- Be prepared to discuss your complete medical history, current medications, and daily routines with the neurologist.
- You may be asked to wear an actigraph (a watch-like device) on your wrist to monitor sleep and activity patterns.
- Avoid making drastic changes to your sleep schedule or taking over-the-counter sleep aids before the evaluation.
- Bring any previous sleep study results or relevant medical records to the consultation.
Risks & possible complications
- Treatment requires high levels of patient commitment and consistency; non-adherence can lead to treatment failure.
- Light therapy devices, if used incorrectly (e.g., at the wrong time of day), can potentially worsen the delay or cause eye strain.
- Melatonin supplementation, while generally safe for short-term use, can cause drowsiness, headaches, or dizziness.
- The process of shifting the sleep schedule can be temporarily disruptive and may cause increased sleepiness or insomnia during the adjustment period.
- There is a risk of relapse if the strict sleep hygiene and schedule are not maintained long-term.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery involves adhering to the new, gradually adjusted sleep schedule with extreme consistency, even on weekends.
- Post-diagnosis care includes regular follow-ups with the neurologist or sleep specialist to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan.
- Patients must continue practicing prescribed sleep hygiene measures, such as creating a dark, quiet sleep environment and avoiding screens before bed.
- Successful 'recovery' is measured by achieving a stable, more socially aligned sleep-wake cycle and improved daytime alertness.
- Long-term maintenance of the new schedule is crucial to prevent a return to the delayed phase.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
