Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders [PDF]
Primary Health Care Open Access, 2014 Though the theories on the reasons why humans need to sleep vary, there is no disagreement that sleep is essential to our wellbeing and survival. External and internal physiological parameters dictate our own individual body “clocks,” or circadian rhythms. Typically, this clock runs very close to a 24-hour cycle of sleep and wakefulness.

The Effect of Blindness on Biological Rhythms and the Consequences of Circadian Rhythm Disorder
Türk Oftalmoloji Dergisi, 2023 Various physiological systems and behaviors such as the sleep-wake cycle, vigilance, body temperature, and the secretion of certain hormones are governed by a 24-hour cycle called the circadian system.
