Abstract

This article focuses on irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder (ISWRD) and its associations with several other comorbidities. Irregular sleep-wake rhythm disorder is a circadian disorder characterized by a lack of a clear sleep-wake pattern. The disorder has yet to be fully understood from pathophysiologic perspective. Treatments are available, but there is a need for development of novel interventions. The goal of this article is to focus on multiple aspects of ISWRD.

Keywords: Circadian; Irregular sleep-wake; Light therapy; Melatonin; Sleep.
