The key part is that it's related to the circadian rhythm and time keeping. That it's persistent and recurrent doesn't in itself distinguish it from other sleep disorders that may cause delayed sleep schedule, such as sleep-onset insomnia, or "bad habits" as you call it.

If you want to address people affected by e.g. DSPD, and not "night owls" in general, it is perhaps just better to simply address them as such.
