About Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome (FASPS)

A person with familial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS) is normal and healthy but is an extreme morning lark.

These individuals have a short circadian period that leads them to wake up earlier each day. They ultimately reach an equilibrium where they're waking up so early and going to sleep early enough that they get a strong light impulse to reset their clock for the next day.
