Circadian Rhythm Disorder Directory

Circadian rhythm disorders are disruptions in a person's circadian rhythm -- a name given to the "internal body clock" that regulates the (approximately) 24-hour cycle of biological processes in animals and plants. Circadian rhythms are important in determining human sleeping patterns. When your body clock gets off schedule -- as can occur when traveling, working the night shift, or taking certain medications -- problems may develop that affect sleep.
