	Delayed sleep phase syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Often, sufferers manage on a few hours sleep a night during the working week, then "catch up" by sleeping excessively at the weekend and sometimes by means of afternoon or evening naps, with inevitable effects on their social lives.
		Forcing a patient to go to sleep early, for example by the use of sedatives or "sleeping pills", and forcing early rising does not result in adaptation to the new sleeping pattern.
		DSPS is diagnosed by a clinical interview, actigraphic monitoring and/or a sleep log kept by the patient for at least three weeks.

		Sleep deprivation and this misalignment of rhythms are two of the most important factors in decreased performance and increased accident rates associated with night work, and may also impact other health consequences of shift work (e.g., digestive and cardiovascular).
		These children have a sleep disorder that is debilitating for them and for their families: they sleep in short 'snatches' throughout the day and night, with a complete lack of sleep consolidation.
		Sleep disturbances may be caused by an underlying medical (e.g., sleep apnea, arthritis) or psychiatric (e.g., depression) illness.

	Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder
		Persistent or recurrent pattern of sleep disruption leading to excessive sleepiness or insomnia, that is due to a mis-matching between the sleep/wake schedule required by a person's environment and their circadian sleep-wake pattern.
		The disturbance does not occur exclusively during the course of another Sleep Disorder or other mental disorder and the disturbance is not due to the direct physiological effects of a substance.
		Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder causes periods of insomnia, sleepiness, or both, depending on the time of day and how much time the person has to make up for the insomnia.

		Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder is a mismatch between a person's internal sleep-wake cycle and external demands.
		The relative normalcy of this "disorder" is indicated by its subtypes, which include "shift work type" and "jet lag type," along with "delayed sleep phase" and "unspecified" types.
		The delayed sleep phase disorder is diagnosed when an individual is unable to adjust to the usual sleep pattern, and stays up late and sleeps late despite attempts to adjust.

		Shiftwork creates a chronic condition in which the internal circadian rhythm is out of sync with the external time cues of day and night / light and dark.
		This circadian rhythm disorder results in excessive sleepiness in the early evening with a resultant tendency to go to bed earlier (advancing the sleep time) and undesired awakening early in the morning.

	Circadian Rhythm - Sleep/Wake Study in Juvenile-onset Bipolar Disorder
		Taken together, these studies suggest that juvenile-onset bipolar disorder presents in the large majority of cases with an ultra-ultra rapid cycling pattern, and is associated with a prominent diurnal pattern of activity, as well as sleep arousal disorders suggestive of a disturbance of the REM-NREM sleep cycle.
		Circadian rhythm/sleep studies will be performed at the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital, Westchester Division, under the direction of Dr. Margaret Moline, director of the center, and a co-principal investigator on the project.

		Circadian rhythm disorders are disruptions of the natural biological cycles that control how people are attuned to night and day.
		Most people function on a circadian rhythm of about 24 hours, which is controlled by the internal biological clock in the brain.
		Advanced sleep phase syndrome is a circadian rhythm disorder in which people fall asleep earlier in the evening and wake up earlier in the morning than they would like; it is common among older people.

	HHMI News: First Human Circadian Rhythm Gene Identified
		According to Ptacek, individual members of the Utah family identified by Jones showed strong symptoms of a distinctive ASPS-type sleep pattern—as revealed by their answers to a questionnaire that covered sleep habits and time-preferences for activities such as test-taking and exercise.
		According to Ptacek, the disruption in phosphorylation of the hPer2 protein may prevent the protein from acting as a sort of rheostat that helps adjust the length of the circadian rhythm according to the amount of phosphorylation.
		"Circadian rhythm is probably governed by a balance of phosphorylation of different proteins," said Ptacek.

		The major complaint for this disorder is the inability to initiate or maintain sleep, or non-restorative sleep (sleep that does not refresh the individual when they awaken).
		It is worth noting that the insomnia or other sleep disorders are not necessarily the cause of this excessive sleepiness.
		As with other sleep disorders, this disorder is not caused by a mental health disorder or a a result of physiological effects of a substance (alcohol or drug) or medical condition.

		Circadian rhythm disturbances can be categorized into 2 main groups: transient disorders (eg, jet lag; changed sleep schedule due to work, social responsibilities, illness) and chronic disorders.
		Many deaths related to circadian rhythm disorders are the result of impaired performance secondary to sleep deprivation; therefore, many times, the deaths are categorized into different headings (eg, motor vehicle accidents, heavy machinery accidents, other accidents).
		Nocturnal eating disorder is an entity distinct from circadian rhythm disorders and is characterized by an inability to maintain sleep over the night.

	Genetic Basis of Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders
		This condition is very prevalent in the population and people with CRSD often experience diminished quality of life, depression, impaired health, and are at greater risk of having accidents.
		To better understand the role genetics plays in CRSD, researchers at the Arizona Respiratory Center are collaborating with scientists at the University of California in San Diego (UCSD) to systematically study the genetic variants associated with this disorder.
		By discovering which genes are associated with CRSD, this study will lay the groundwork for better clinical diagnostics for this condition, as well as new therapies aimed at specific genes.

	circadian rhythm sleep disorder
		Sleep-wake schedule disorder; a dyssomnia consisting of sleep disruption leading to excessive sleepiness or insomnia that is due to a mismatch between the sleep-wake schedule required by a person’s environment and his or her circadian sleep-wake pattern.
		In the delayed sleep phase type, sleep onset and awakening times are late and the person is unable to fall asleep and awaken at a desired earlier time.
		The desynchronized type includes sleep disruption produced by jet lag and by recurrent changes in work shifts; it is characterized by insomnia during the major sleep period or excessive sleepiness during the major wake period.
