What are circadian rhythm conditions?


At Helyx Health, we recognize that optimal health goes beyond merely addressing symptoms; it’s about understanding the underlying causes of health concerns. A critical aspect of this holistic approach is the body’s internal clock, or circadian rhythm, which plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being.

Our experienced team specializes in diagnosing and managing various circadian rhythm conditions, including delayed sleep phase disorder (DSPD), advanced sleep phase disorder (ASPD), non-24-hour sleep-wake condition (Non-24), shift work condition, and jet lag. These challenges can disrupt an individual’s natural sleep-wake cycle, significantly impacting daily life and activities.

To effectively address these issues, we conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including a detailed sleep history and specific sleep studies, to determine the underlying causes of your sleep issues. Treatment strategies are tailored to your individual needs, focusing on realigning your internal clock through lifestyle modifications, light therapy, melatonin supplements, and other interventions. If you’re struggling with sleep disturbances, our dedicated team at Helyx Health is here to help you achieve better sleep and improve your overall well-being.

What is the most common circadian rhythm condition?


At Helyx Health, we recognize the significant impact and complexity of sleep issues, particularly Delayed Sleep-Wake Phase Disorder (DSWPD), also known as Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome (DSPS). This prevalent circadian rhythm condition disrupts individuals’ natural sleep timing, causing them to sleep and wake later than societal norms dictate. As a result, those affected may struggle with early morning awakenings, increased alertness and productivity in the evening, and daytime fatigue due to chronic sleep deprivation.

Our experienced team at Helyx Health is dedicated to providing effective, personalized treatments for DSWPD (DSPS). We offer a variety of options tailored to individual needs, including light therapy to help reset the circadian rhythm, melatonin supplements to regulate the sleep-wake cycle, cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster healthy sleep habits, and behavioral interventions aimed at gradually shifting sleep patterns.

It’s essential to understand that DSWPD (DSPS) is a legitimate medical condition, not merely a lifestyle choice. Those experiencing this condition are not simply “night owls”; they face genuine physiological challenges in aligning their sleep patterns with societal expectations. If you suspect that you or someone you care about may be struggling with DSWPD (DSPS), we encourage you to reach out for help at Helyx Health. Our dedicated team is here to assist you in understanding and managing your sleep challenges, ultimately improving your quality of life.

What causes circadian rhythm conditions?


Genetic factors, lifestyle choices, and the aging process can further influence our circadian rhythm. Chronic stress, unpredictable sleep cycles, and a lack of physical activity can all cause sleep disturbances, as can drinking alcohol or caffeine right before bed. Older adults often experience changes in their sleep patterns, leading to difficulties in falling or staying asleep, while teenagers may find their circadian rhythms shifting toward later bedtimes and wake times.

At Helyx Health, we believe in understanding the root causes of circadian rhythm conditions to create effective treatment strategies tailored to each patient’s needs. Our approaches may include lifestyle modifications, light therapy, medications, or cognitive-behavioral therapy. Our healthcare providers are dedicated to guiding you and developing a personalized treatment plan, all aimed at supporting your journey toward optimal health and wellness.

How are circadian rhythm conditions diagnosed?


At Helyx Health, we recognize that a good night’s sleep is crucial for overall health and well-being. To diagnose potential circadian rhythm conditions, we provide comprehensive evaluations of your sleep patterns. Our medical professionals will assess your medical history and daily routine, including your sleep habits, daytime alertness, and lifestyle factors such as work schedules and light exposure.

We conduct thorough physical examinations to rule out other causes of sleep disturbances and may ask you to maintain a sleep diary to track your sleep patterns. Additionally, we might recommend actigraphy to collect objective data on your sleep duration and quality, as well as polysomnography (sleep studies) for in-depth monitoring of brain activity and physiological responses during sleep.

Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we can offer tailored treatment options, which may include lifestyle changes, light therapy, or medication. Our goal at Helyx Health is to help you achieve better sleep and enhance your overall well-being. For more information, please contact us today or book an appointment online. We serve patients from San Francisco CA, Orange CA, Palo Alto CA, Menlo Park CA, Stanford CA, Santa Ana CA, Tustin CA, Oakland CA, Emeryville CA, and surrounding areas.
