Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders arise when the body’s internal clock is out of sync with the natural light-dark cycle. This misalignment can result in difficulty falling asleep at night, excessive daytime sleepiness, or irregular sleep patterns. Common causes include shift work, frequent travel across time zones, or underlying health conditions.
Management often involves lifestyle adjustments such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, exposure to controlled light therapy, and sometimes medication. Proper treatment helps restore a balanced sleep cycle and improves overall physical and mental wellbeing.
