CIRCADIAN RHYTHM SLEEP DISORDERS [PDF]

open access: possiblePediatric Clinics of North America, 2004
This article begins with a review of the major central nervous system functional systems that allow for optimal alertness during the waking day, and the rapid initiation and good maintenance of sleep at night. Subsequent sections discuss each of the 6 primary circadian rhythm sleep disorders.

Circadian rhythms in neurodegenerative disorders

Nature Reviews Neurology, 2021
Endogenous biological clocks, orchestrated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus, time the circadian rhythms that synchronize physiological and behavioural functions in humans. The circadian system influences most physiological processes, including sleep, alertness and cognitive performance. Disruption of circadian homeostasis has deleterious effects on human

Circadian Rhythm Disorders

Seminars in Neurology, 2004
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders occur when individuals attempt to sleep at the wrong circadian time. The misalignment between the internal circadian timing system and the external environment is typically due to either an alteration in the functioning of the circadian timing system (e.g., delayed or advanced sleep phase disorder) or to changes in the ...

Circadian rhythms and circadian rhythm disorders in children and adolescents

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2001
A clinically applicable review of circadian rhythm physiology is presented, including a detailed examination of the interaction of circadian and homeostatic systems and the maturation of the circadian system from preconception through adolescence. Emphasis is placed on the clinical evaluation gathering information through the history, sleep log, and if

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2010
Because there is insufficient cellular energy for organisms to perform their functions at the same constant rate and at the same time, all biologic processes show rhythmicity, each with its own unique frequency, amplitude, and phase. Optimal sleep and wakefulness requires proper timing and alignment of desired sleep-wake schedules and circadian rhythm ...

Circadian Rhythms in Mood Disorders

2021
Altered behavioral rhythms are a fundamental diagnostic feature of mood disorders. Patients report worse subjective sleep and objective measures confirm this, implicating a role for circadian rhythm disruptions in mood disorder pathophysiology. Molecular clock gene mutations are associated with increased risk of mood disorder diagnosis and/or severity ...

Affective Disorders and Circadian Rhythms

The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry, 1986
Abnormal circadian rhythms have been associated with affective disorders. A review of this rapidly expanding area of investigation shows that while a clear causal relationship has not yet been proven, a knowledge of the circadian system and its dysfunction can help in understanding unipolar and bipolar depression.

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2005
Individuals who have circadian rhythm sleep disorders present with symptoms of insomnia or excessive sleepiness and complain of an inability to sleep at their desired time. Although the primary etiology of these disorders is a misalignment between the endogenous circadian clock and the external environment, social and behavioral factors can also play ...

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders

Chest, 2006
Humans exhibit endogenous circadian rhythms that are regulated by the master circadian clock of the body, the suprachiasmatic nucleus. These endogenous circadian rhythms are aligned to the outside world by social and environmental cues. Circadian rhythm sleep disorders (CRSD) occur when there is an alteration of the internal timing mechanism or a ...

Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders

CONTINUUM: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, 2020
ABSTRACT PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article provides an overview of circadian physiology and discusses common presentations and treatment strategies for the circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Circadian rhythms are present throughout the body, and ...
