About Circadian Rhythm Clinic
A circadian rhythm clinic treats problems where the body clock is out of step with the desired sleep time, such as teenagers who cannot sleep until late, night-shift workers and frequent travellers.
Treatment uses fixed schedules, bright light at the right time, avoiding evening screens and sometimes carefully timed melatonin.
