There are sleep disorders among teenagers that affects between seven to ten percent of teenagers called Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder, also known as DNS. Most teenagers outgrow this disorder by the time they reach young adulthood. Less then one percent of adults are believed to have DSP. Often people mistake sleep disorder for insomnia.

Left on their own, people with delayed sleep phase disorder would stay up until very late, sometimes until 4 or 5 a.m. They like to get up very late in the morning or early afternoon. Often they are referred to as night owls.

Many teenagers like to stay up late and sleep late in the morning. Sometimes this is because they want to socialize at that time of the day. However, it can also be due to the natural delay in the circadian sleep / wake rhythm at their age of development.

People who possess a photographic memory are more common than you might think. Some see it as a blessing others see it as a curse.

A photographic memory is when you can see events in your head as if they were taking place again right in front of you. It is a very apt expression, for it is as if your brain has somehow taken a Pulitzer Prize-winning snapshot with every detail frozen in place. Having a photographic memory has its good points, and its bad points. Let’s now listen to and examine these points from someone who had this kind of memory and then lost it.

My Story

When I was a kid I used to have a photographic memory. I could remember, in in precise detail, Stanza’s in poems , song lyrics, family conversations and the team members and years of all the winners of the NFL Super Bowl. When I was a younger, this photographic memory served me extremely well in school, because I could recall lessons on the test day, I was relied on as a walking encyclopedia.
