What Is a Circadian Rhythm Disorder?

Circadian rhythm disorders occur when the body’s internal clock becomes disrupted, making it difficult to sleep and wake up at the correct times. Some examples of circadian rhythm disorders include:

Advanced sleep phase disorder
Delayed sleep phase disorder
Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder
Jet lag
Non-24-hour sleep-wake syndrome
Shift work disorder

Difficulty sleeping can cause fatigue, which can in turn lead to daytime sleepiness, stress, depression, and trouble keeping up with work, school, and social obligations.

How Are Circadian Rhythm Disorders Treated?

Circadian rhythm disorders treatment will vary among patients depending on factors such as the type of disorder present, the severity of symptoms, and the individual’s lifestyle. With that being said, treatment for a circadian rhythm sleep disorder may involve:

Medication
Bright light therapy
Chronotherapy
Lifestyle changes (such as maintaining a regular sleep schedule, exercising, and avoiding certain substances and activities before bed)
