Circadian Rhythm Disorder
Circadian rhythm disorder refers to a group of conditions that affect a person's natural sleep-wake cycle, or circadian rhythm.
A disrupted circadian rhythm can lead to sleep issues and other health concerns
Circadian rhythm disorder is a condition in which a person's internal biological clock is out of sync with the external environment, leading to disruptions in their sleep-wake cycle. The circadian rhythm is the natural 24-hour cycle of physiological processes that occur in our bodies, such as the sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, and body temperature regulation. When the circadian rhythm is disrupted, it can lead to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, daytime sleepiness, and other health problems.
Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping you overcome your symptoms and regain your health.
Symptoms
The symptoms of circadian rhythm disorder may vary depending on the type and severity of the disorder.
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep at the appropriate times
