Abstract:

The Earth’s daily rotation affects almost every living creature. From dawn through to dusk, there are changes in light, temperature, humidity, and rainfall. However, these changes are regular, rhythmic, and therefore predictable. Thus, the near 24-hour circadian rhythm is innate: a genetically programmed clock. Circadian Rhythms: A Very Short Introduction explains how organisms can ‘know’ the time and reveals what we now understand of the nature and operation of chronobiological processes. Covering variables such as light, the metabolism, human health, and the seasons, it illustrates how jet lag and shift work can impact on human well-being, and considers circadian rhythms alongside a wide range of disorders, from schizophrenia to obesity.

Abstract:

The 24-hour sleep–wake cycle is generated by two oscillatory processes: an endogenous hypothalamic circadian pacemaker and a sleep- and wake-dependent homeostat. These processes combine to maintain a consolidated bout of sleep at night and relatively stable waking function across the day. They also combine to determine ‘diurnal preference’—whether one is a ‘lark’ or an ‘owl’—a reflection of the phase relationship between the circadian and homeostatic processes. These processes are affected directly by light, either through resetting of the circadian pacemaker or its direct alerting effects. Sleep deficiency and circadian disruption have been associated with a higher risk of chronic disease, although the methodology for assessing these exposures is not optimal. Both sleep and the circadian system also have myriad influences on other aspects of our physiology, behaviour, and metabolism; therefore, steps should be taken to reduce their potential confounding effects in epidemiological studies.

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the incidence, presentation, assessment, diagnosis, and management of the four main circadian rhythm sleep disorders: advanced sleep phase disorder (ASPD), delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD), free-running (non-24-hour) sleep disorder (FRSD), and irregular sleep–wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD). Following a brief discussion of the daily entrainment of the human circadian clock to the light cycle, and the shifting effects of light and melatonin on the clock, each of the four different disorders are considered in turn. The aim of this chapter is to provide a concise overview of the disorders and the potential treatment strategies for each. The chapter is extensively referenced for further information.

Abstract:

Sleep is one of the key underpinnings of human health, yet sleep disturbances and impaired sleep are rampant in modern life. Healthy sleep is a whole-body process impacted by circadian rhythm, daily activities, and emotional well-being, among others. When properly aligned, these work in concert to produce restorative and refreshing sleep. When not in balance, however, sleep disorders result. Yet too often, the approach to treatment of sleep disorders is compartmentalized, failing to recognize all of the complex interactions that are involved. This text offers a comprehensive approach to sleep and sleep disorders by delineating the many factors that interplay into healthy sleep. Health care providers can learn how to better manage their patients with sleep disorders by integrating complementary and conventional approaches. Using an evidence-based approach throughout, this book describes the basics of normal sleep then delves into the foundations of integrative sleep medicine, including the circadian rhythm, mind/body-sleep connection, light, dreaming, the gastrointestinal system, and botanicals/supplements. Specific sleep issues and disorders are then addressed from an integrative perspective, including insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, sleep related movement disorders, and parasomnias.

Abstract:

Sleep is required for health and well-being, and consumes roughly one-third of a human’s lifetime, yet its functions remain incompletely understood. This chapter provides an overview of so-called sleep architecture—the stages and cycles that characterize sleep, including rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM periods. Also discussed are the numerous regions of brain and neurotransmitters that control the induction of sleep, the transitions between REM and non-REM sleep cycles, and wakefulness. Key brain systems include GABAergic neurons in the pre-optic area, the neuropeptide orexin in lateral hypothalamic neurons, histaminergic neurons in the hypothalamus, monoaminergic (norepinephrine and serotonin) and acetylcholinergic nuclei in the brainstem, and the brain’s adenosine system, all of which work in integrated circuits to control sleep and wakefulness. Overlaid on sleep-wake cycles are circadian rhythms, and the crucial role played by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in entraining such rhythms to environmental light.
