Sleep and Circadian Rhythms in Chronic Disease and Lifecourse Epidemiology
Circadian rhythms are endogenous near-24 hour cycles that regulate most biological processes. When cycles are misaligned to the external world, this can cause sleep disorders and associated ill health. Deterioration in sleep quality is a prominent feature of ageing and poor sleep is characteristic of many chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neurodegeneration and some cancers. Growing evidence suggests that sleep and circadian rhythm disruption (SCRD) is not only a consequence of ageing, but can impact ageing processes and cause age-related disease. The health burden of sleep disorders and population ageing underscore the need for further research. If SCRD is…
