What are circadian rhythm sleep disorders?

Melatonin pills can be taken to treat sleep disorders.

Melatonin pills can be taken to treat sleep disorders.

The timing, duration and quality of sleep are determined by two physiological processes:

The sleep homeostat, which measures the need to sleep. This builds up during waking time and then disappears during sleep.

The circadian clock, which drives the daily, 24-hour body rhythms in all aspects of physiology and behaviour, including sleep/wake pattern. To be able to get good quality sleep at night requires that our circadian clock is appropriately synchronised with local time.

The time that we go to bed and wake up is generally determined by our work, study and social commitments. So, for the majority of people who work or study on a 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. pattern, a ‘normal’ sleep schedule would probably involve going to bed between 10 p.m. and midnight, and getting up between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. in the morning. However, sufferers of circadian rhythm sleep disorders have circadian clocks that are not synchronised with such a ‘normal’ sleep schedule; instead their body clock is telling them to go to sleep and wake up at very different times. The relationship between their circadian clock and local time (local light/dark cycles) is abnormal.

Having a circadian rhythm sleep disorder is similar to having permanent jet lag – a misalignment between the body clock, the local clock time and the light/dark cycle. This leads to problems in falling asleep when we want to, staying asleep and feeling fully rested, and also feeling sleepy during waking hours.
