  Circadian rhythm sleep disorders are caused by a mismatch between the sleep - wake pattern and circadian phase. Sleep at the circadian high is impaired, while alertness is reduced during wakefulness. This book discusses consequences of circadian disruption in animal models, and influence of circadian system on disease severity.
