I'm a little different - I'm fairly certain I have a non-24-hour circadian clock. If I do not force myself, via scheduled melatonin supplements and caffeine/B-vitamin supplements, I naturally land on about a 26 hour circadian clock.

Tangentially. I wonder at the reason for the increase of DSPS during adolescence among boys. It might very well be evolutionary - the young had to stay up later for watching over camps/habitat at night, perhaps?
