Research advances in the study of sleep disorders, circadian rhythm disturbances and Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Although there are still no satisfactory answers to the question of why we need to sleep, a better understanding of its function will help to improve societal attitudes toward sleep. Sleep disorders are very common in neurodegenerative diseases and are a

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders: Genetics, Mechanisms, and Adverse Effects on Health
Nearly all living organisms, from cyanobacteria to humans, have an internal circadian oscillation with a periodicity of approximately 24 h. In mammals, circadian rhythms regulate diverse physiological processes including the body temperature, energy ...

Sex Differences in Insomnia and Circadian Rhythm Disorders: A Systematic Review
Insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders are increasingly common in modern society and lead to significant challenges for people’s health and well-being. Some studies suggests that men and women differ in neurohormonal secretion, biological processes, and

Treatment of Circadian Rhythm Sleep–Wake Disorders
Circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders (CRSWDs) are a distinct class of sleep disorders caused by alterations to the circadian time-keeping system, its entrainment mechanisms, or a mismatch between the endogenous circadian rhythm and the external ...

Non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder revisited – A case study [PDF]
The human sleep-wake cycle is governed by two major factors: a homeostatic hourglass process (process S), which rises linearly during the day, and a circadian process C, which determines the timing of sleep in an approximately 24h rhythm in accordance to

Circadian Rhythm and Sleep Disruption: Causes, Metabolic Consequences, and Countermeasures
Circadian (∼24-hour) timing systems pervade all kingdoms of life and temporally optimize behavior and physiology in humans. Relatively recent changes to our environments, such as the introduction of artificial lighting, can disorganize the circadian ...

Circadian rhythm sleep disorders [PDF]
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders are characterized by a misalignment between the timing of sleep–wake and the external environment that results in insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, and impaired waking function. This chapter covers sleep disorders thought to be result of alterations in the endogenous circadian clock, such as delayed sleep phase ...
