What Are Common Circadian Rhythm Disorders in Children?
Some common circadian rhythm disorders in children include:
- Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder: This condition involves a significant delay in the sleep-wake cycle, leading to difficulty falling asleep and waking up at conventional times. - Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder: This is characterized by an earlier than normal sleep onset and wake time. - Irregular Sleep-Wake Rhythm: This disorder involves a lack of clear sleep-wake patterns, often resulting in fragmented sleep.
