Circadian rhythm disorders are a group of sleep disorders where ones endogenous circadian clock for sleep does not align with ones environmental sleep wake schedule. The misalignment leads to complaints of poor sleep and wake time consequences such as excessive sleepiness, poor concentration, and even mood symptoms. Treatments vary depending on the disorder, but consist of re-entraining the circadian sleep clock using bright light and melatonin as well as developing sleep promoting behaviors.
