Circadian rhythm sleep disorder is a condition in which a person's sleep-wake cycle is disrupted, leading to difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up in the morning. This can result from a misalignment of the individual's internal circadian rhythm with the 24-hour day, and can be caused by a variety of factors, such as jet lag, shift work, exposure to artificial light at night, or sleep deprivation. Polysomnographic technologists can help diagnose circadian rhythm sleep disorder by conducting sleep studies and evaluating the individual's sleep-wake cycle.
