The first is the theory of dynamic stabilization, which explains the evolution of sleep. The second is the circadian resonance hypothesis, which discusses the evolution of circadian rhythms. Shift work involves hours of work that are irregular from normal working hours and conflicts the rhythmic ...
Disturbances in the sleep–wake cycle and circadian rhythms are common symptoms of Alzheimer Disease (AD), and they have generally been considered as late consequences of the neurodegenerative processes. Recent evidence demonstrates that sleep–wake and
Circadian rhythms and sleep are fundamental biological processes integral to human health. Their disruption is associated with detrimental physiological consequences, including cognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular and immunological dysfunctions. Yet many of the molecular underpinnings of sleep regulation in health...
n Rhythms and Sleep Circadian Rhythms and SleepCircadian Rhythms and SleepPart of our birthright as inhabitants of a spinning globe is continual exposure to rhythmical environmental changes and, in particular, the progression of day and night. It is no wonder that in the course of evolution ...
Every cell in the body has a circadian rhythm. This rhythm follows a near 24-hour cycle that is synchronized to day and night. These circadian rhythms are critical for health and well-being.
Another factor that should be considered in this context is that circadian rhythms and sleep are mechanistically different, albeit interacting, processes. A number of potential mechanisms that may account for SCRD in psychosis are summarized and discussed in more detail in the chapter....
For example, the use of chronotherapy (ie, therapies timed to particular phases of the circadian cycle) could lead to a more personalised and tailored management strategy for patients with epilepsy. This Review describes how circadian rhythms can shape the temporal patterns of epileptic activity and...

The Earth turns on its axis every 24 h; almost all life on the planet has a mechanism — circadian rhythmicity — to anticipate the daily changes caused by this rotation. The molecular clocks that control circadian rhythms are being revealed as import
