Purpose
Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD) occurs in 7–16% of young people. Development of this disorder is favored by prolonged and late use of electronic devices, shift work, irregular meal times and other socio-cultural changes. The aim of the article is to describe the case study and to analyze treatment of the patient with a diagnosis of DSWPD.

Case description
A 28-year-old man who reported negative impact of sleep disorders on the quality of his marital relationship, including the quality of sex life. Previous treatment with a sleeping medicine was not effective. Only the use of a full chronobiological treatment program, in line with current standards, and melatonin therapy has led to significant improvement in his condition.

Comment
DSWPD is a disorder that significantly affects the quality of life and daily functioning, not only of the patient but also of his family. Recommended treatment methods include melatonin therapy, phototherapy, and behavioral interventions.
