Suggest Treatment For Sleep Disorder

i think i have dsps. i just heard about this condition. ive been having sleep problems exactly like the described symptoms. my doctor put me on temazapam a few months ago and told me that that should reset my circadian rhythm, but i just slip back into the pattern of not sleeping till 5 am then feeling tired when i wake up around noon. i just want to know if i have this because at least then i could do something about it. it affects my schoolwork, job, and social life, and my parents just think im lazy. any help for me?
