Abstract: In this follow up to The Evolution of Sleep Medicine in Neurology, we will explicitly cover Circadian Rhythm & Sleep/Wake Homeostasis. Sleep is regulated by two body systems: sleep/wake homeostasis and the circadian biological clock. Circadian Rhythm is a necessary biological process that oscillates in 24 hour patterns. It is necessary for organisms to coordinate their biology and behavior with daily environmental changes in the day-night cycle. The circadian rhythm dips and rises at various points throughout the day, so adults’ strongest sleep drive generally occurs between 2:00-4:00 am and in the afternoon between 1:00-3:00 pm.
