>>"I simply can't come in at 9am, I'm a night owl!"

Do you take exception to that statement if it came from someone with Delayed sleep phase disorder? [1]

" According Cary Cooper, a psychologist and professor at Lancaster University Management School, when people who have DSPS wake up early for work, they become sleep deprived which causes them to be less efficient, innovative, and creative at the office. People with DSPS have trouble finding positions that allow them to work hours that let them get enough sleep. This also results in more stress, and can cause workplace accidents. " [2]
