Detailed explanation-1: -When your sleep-wake cycle is out of sync with your environment, you may have difficulty sleeping, and the quality of your sleep may be poor. Disruptions of your sleep-wake cycle that interfere with daily activities may mean that you have a circadian rhythm disorder.
Detailed explanation-2: -In otherwise healthy adults, short-term consequences of sleep disruption include increased stress responsivity, somatic pain, reduced quality of life, emotional distress and mood disorders, and cognitive, memory, and performance deficits.
Detailed explanation-3: -Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland that’s associated with the body’s sleep-wake cycle. It helps regulate the body’s circadian rhythm, so you can fall-and stay-asleep. Disrupted or poor sleep can have impacts on melatonin and its role in promoting sleep in the brain.
Detailed explanation-4: -In addition, nighttime exposure to background light in humans disrupts circadian rhythms, and such disruptions have been linked to multiple pathophysiological changes, including increased body mass and waist circumference, elevated triglyceride levels, and poor cholesterol balance.
