What Is Non-24 Circadian Sleep Disorder?
Question: What is non-24 circadian sleep disordered?
Brief Answer:
It means your sleep cycle doesn't follow 24hours!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
A non 24 hours circadian sleep disorder means your system doesn't follow the same number of hours in a day. This translate into your body not programmed to do the same thing at the same time of the day. For example, you may fall asleep at 10pm, then progressively move to 11pm because of the differences in your sleep cycle and the normal hours in a day.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks and let me know if there is something more you would like us to talk of at this time.
