How does the human brain dictate when it’s time to nap and when to fully sleep?

I think my naps and full sleep got swiped and now my brain thinks it’s appropriate to nap at night and fully sleep at daytime. I’ve been trying to fix this by sleeping only at night and my brain is still thinking that even with all the tiredness I only need a short nap..soo what gives?

I do have a fried of mine that has Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder (DSPD), whereby his sleep cycle is almost completely the opposite. An analogy is like having to be born on the wrong time of the day.

From what I heard, it isn’t very uncommon, but not many ppl are diagnosed. Perhaps you might wanna see a doctor if you find that it’s getting worse.

One advice I have is to reflect on your sleeping habits. Do you use lost of mobile devices before bed time? Is your mind constantly not at rest due to school or work? Are u having a healthy lifestyle?

Hope this helps:)
