Causes and Diagnoses of Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders
People with a circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorder cannot align their sleep-wake cycle to their environment or their activities.
Talk with a clinician if your inability to sleep at normal times is negatively affecting your life.
Diagnoses
First, a sleep medicine specialist will:
- Review your symptoms.
- Take your medical history.
- Perform a physical exam, if needed.
They may also:
- Ask you to keep a sleep diary to track when you go to bed and wake up.
- Recommend an actigraphy, which uses a device you wear at night to monitor your rest and movement cycles.
- Test how much melatonin is in your saliva.
