Abstract
Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorders (CRSWDs) are characterized by a mismatch between preferred sleep times and the body’s internal clock.
- The etiology, presentation, and treatment of CRSWDs can differ significantly between pediatric and adult patients.
- Evaluation of CRSWDs should consider a patient's other health conditions.
- New assessment methods may enhance diagnostic clarity regarding circadian physiology and its impact on health.
- Management of CRSWDs is multimodal and requires collaboration across various healthcare disciplines.
- Successful treatment relies on timely use of both nonpharmacologic and pharmacologic strategies.
- Advancements in understanding genetic factors associated with CRSWDs may lead to better diagnostic and therapeutic options.
