About Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder

Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorder (CRSD) treatment is a specialized neurological management plan designed to realign your internal body clock with your desired sleep-wake schedule. A neurologist conducts a comprehensive evaluation, often including sleep diaries, actigraphy (wrist-worn activity monitors), and sometimes specialized sleep studies. Treatment is not a single procedure but a personalized protocol that may involve timed light therapy, strategic melatonin supplementation, chronotherapy (gradually shifting sleep times), and strict sleep hygiene practices. The goal is to correct the misalignment between your circadian rhythm and environmental cues, thereby restoring restful, timely sleep and improving daytime alertness, cognitive function, and overall quality of life.

Key Highlights

    Non-invasive, personalized treatment plan focused on behavioral and environmental adjustments.Aims to restore natural sleep-wake cycles without heavy reliance on long-term medication.Can significantly improve daytime energy, mood, concentration, and overall productivity.Addresses the root cause of sleep timing issues rather than just masking symptoms.Management is often conducted on an outpatient basis with minimal disruption to daily life.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Diagnosis of Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (night owl syndrome) or Advanced Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (early bird syndrome).
  • Irregular Sleep-Wake Rhythm Disorder, often seen in some neurological conditions.
  • Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Rhythm Disorder, common in total blindness.
  • Shift Work Disorder causing insomnia and excessive sleepiness.
  • Jet Lag Disorder that is severe or frequent.
  • Persistent insomnia or hypersomnia linked to a misaligned circadian clock.

How to prepare

  • Complete any questionnaires provided by the neurologist about sleep habits and daytime function.
  • Be prepared to discuss your work schedule, lifestyle, light exposure, and medication use.
  • For actigraphy, you will be instructed on how to wear a monitoring device on your wrist.
  • In some cases, you may be asked to avoid caffeine, alcohol, or naps before specific assessments.

Risks & possible complications

  • Minimal direct physical risks as core treatments are behavioral and involve light or melatonin.
  • Potential for temporary grogginess or headache with timed light therapy if not correctly dosed.
  • Melatonin supplements may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or mild nausea in some individuals.
  • Chronotherapy requires strict discipline; non-adherence can lead to treatment failure or further schedule disruption.
  • Underlying conditions contributing to the disorder may be missed without a thorough evaluation.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Patients are encouraged to report any lack of improvement or side effects to their neurologist promptly.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 0 days (Outpatient)

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out last week....

Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
