About Circadian Rhythm Disorder in Chennai
Circadian Rhythm Disorder refers to a group of conditions in which a person's internal biological clock, which regulates the timing of sleep and wakefulness, becomes misaligned with the external day-night cycle or with the demands of their social and work schedule. This misalignment can cause significant difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking at conventional times, even though total sleep quality may otherwise be normal when the person sleeps according to their internal rhythm. Common forms include delayed sleep phase, where sleep and wake times are pushed later, and disruptions caused by shift work or jet lag. The condition can significantly impact daytime functioning, mood, and overall health.
