Biological circadian clocks oscillate with an approximately 24-hour period, are ubiquitous, and presumably confer a selective advantage by anticipating the transitions between day and night. The circadian rhythms of sleep, melatonin secretion and body core temperature are thought to be generated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, the anatomic locus of the mammalian circadian clock. Autosomal semi-dominant mutations in rodents with fast or slow biological clocks (that is, short…

Familial advanced sleep phase syndrome.
TLDR
The occurrence of familial ASPS indicates that human circadian rhythms, similar to those in animals, are under genetic regulation.
Genetics of the human circadian clock and sleep homeostat
TLDR
There is a normal distribution across the population in how the circadian system aligns with typical day and night resulting in varying circadian preferences called chronotypes and a portion of the variation in the population is controlled by genetics as shown by the single-gene mutations that confer extreme early or late chronotypes.
Chapter 27 Circadian rhythm sleep disorders
Integration of human sleep-wake regulation and circadian rhythmicity.
TLDR
Findings on the physiological and molecular-genetic correlates of circadian sleep disorders suggest that the timing of the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms is closely integrated but is, in part, regulated differentially.
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
TLDR
Circadian rhythm sleep disorders are often underrecognized yet should be considered in the differential of patients presenting with symptoms of insomnia and/or hypersomnia and rapid advances in the understanding of the physiologic, cellular, and molecular basis of circadian rhythm and sleep regulation will likely lead to improved diagnostic tools and treatments.
Mechanisms and clinical significance of circadian rhythms in children

  • Biology, Medicine
    Current opinion in pediatrics

TLDR
With the continued elucidation of circadian system influences on human physiology and illness, it is anticipated that circadian biology will have an increasingly important impact on the clinical care of children.
Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders: Genetics, Mechanisms, and Adverse Effects on Health
TLDR
This review will summarize the recent advances in the genetics, underlying mechanisms and the adverse effects on health of ASPD and DSPD.
Pathophysiology and pathogenesis of circadian rhythm sleep disorders
TLDR
The pathophysiology and pathogenesis of CRSD is discussed as well as surrogate measurements for assessing an individual's circadian phenotype and more convenient measurements of circadian rhythms are needed to reduce patients' burden.

Light exposure induces equivalent phase shifts of the endogenous circadian rhythms of circulating plasma melatonin and core body temperature in men.
TLDR
Using the time of the fitted temperature minimum as a reference standard, the fitted maximum of the endogenous 24-h melatonin profile was a more reliable phase marker than the onset of the nocturnal rise of melatonin.
When the human circadian system is caught napping: evidence for endogenous rhythms close to 24 hours.
TLDR
The results of this study investigated the free-running circadian periods of rest/activity and body core temperature in a group of young subjects who were permitted to nap during their time in isolation and found that Nappers showed a tendency for shorterfree-running periods in both variables, when compared with Nonnappers.
Circadian characteristics of sleep propensity function in healthy elderly: a comparison with young adults.
TLDR
The results of the 7/13 ultrashort sleep-wake paradigm showed that although aging did not affect the overall structure of the SPF, there was an age-related trend toward lower circadian amplitude and advanced phase.
Gender differences in the circadian temperature rhythms of healthy elderly subjects: relationships to sleep quality.
TLDR
The data support the notion that age- related changes in the circadian timing system are, in large part, gender-dependent and are consistent with the hypothesis that alterations in sleep timing and quality that typically accompany aging are closely tied to age-related changes in circadian physiology.
The dim light melatonin onset as a marker for circadian phase position.
TLDR
By measuring the onset of melatonin production, a clearly demarcated event, the authors can reliably assess circadian phase position, provided blood is sampled under dim light (the dim light melatonin onset, or DLMO), which has been useful in assessing the phase-shifting properties of bright light and in phase typing patients with chronobiologic disorders, such as winter depression.
Human sleep: its duration and organization depend on its circadian phase.
Two- to threefold variations in sleep length were observed in 12 subjects living on self-selected schedules in an environment free of time cues. The duration of polygraphically recorded sleep…
Simulations of light effects on the human circadian pacemaker: implications for assessment of intrinsic period.
TLDR
Computer simulations of a recent quantitative model for the effects of light on the human circadian system suggest that the nonuniform distribution over the circadian cycle of exposure to ordinary room light seen in classical free-run studies can result in an observed period of approximately 25 h, even when the intrinsic period of the subject's endogenous circadian pacemaker is much closer to 24 h.
A self-assessment questionnaire to determine morningness-eveningness in human circadian rhythms.
TLDR
Although the questionnaire appears to be valid, further evaluation using a wider subject population is required, as sleep habits are an important déterminant of peak time there are other contibutory factors, and these appear to be partly covered by the questionnaire.
A mutation of the circadian system in golden hamsters.
TLDR
A mutation has been found that dramatically shortens the period of the circadian locomotor rhythm of golden hamsters, and animals that carry the mutant alleles exhibit abnormal entrainment to 24-hour light:dark cycles or are unable to entrain.
A CLOCK polymorphism associated with human diurnal preference.
TLDR
It is suggested that the identified polymorphism or another tightly linked polymorphism within the CLOCK gene or its regulatory elements may be responsible for the finding of a substantial 10- to 44-minute delay in preferred timing for activity or sleep episodes.
