What is a circadian sleep disorder?

The term circadian rhythmic sleep disorder describes a group of sleep disorders that affect the circadian rhythm of the individual. Cirkadian rhythm is a cycle of many organisms that lasts roughly the length of the day, 24 hours and affects the timing of various activities such as eating and sleep. Thus, the circadian rhythm sleep disorder is a disorder that affects the individual's ability to sleep and remain awake. Basically, the "biological clock" is turned off and the person is unable to stay awake at a time that is suitable for work, class or other important activities. On the contrary, they are unable to get enough sleep to stay healthy and alert if they do not sleep according to their biological hours. The body and mind get used to sleeping and climbing at the set time, and this does not prevent any internal or external factors. One is able to remain aware of the warning throughout the day. Cirkadian sleep disorder prevents this healthy sleep cycle.

Circadian rhythmic disorders of sleep can be classified as external or internal based on whether the source is internal or external. People who work occasionally, which is contrary to their biological clock, experience external circadian sleep disorder, as well as those who often travel and suffer from the effects of nozzle delay when crossing time zones. The delayed phase of the sleep phase, or DSPS, is an internal circadian rhythm sleep disorder that causes one to wake up late and will be particularly vigilant in the middle of the night. The advanced phase of the sleep phase causes the opposite response; An individual with syndrome is unable to stay awake and alert in the evening.

While there is no catch for circadian sleep disorders, people who suffer such disorders suffer from possibilities. They can take medicines such as melatonin supplements that are able to positively affect the circadian rhythm. Melatonin is a compound naturally developed in the human body and is involved in the RegulaCE sleep cycle. People can also turn to behavioral therapy; It is generally said to avoid nap and caffeine until their cycles become more regular. Another possibility is bright light therapies in which individuals are exposed to particularly clear light at certain times to affect their circadian rhythms, which can be somewhat sensitive to light.
