− | The circadian rhythm is a natural process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle over a period of roughly 24 hours, driven by a biological, ''circadian clock''<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm</ref>. Continued disturbances to this rhythm can result in health problems related to metabolic disorders. Furthermore, there are a number of circadian rhythm sleep disorders that itself disrupt the ''normal'' 24 hour cycle<ref>https://circadiansleepdisorders.org/</ref>. | + | The circadian rhythm is a natural process that regulates the [[sleep]]-wake cycle over a period of roughly 24 hours, driven by a biological, ''circadian clock''<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm</ref>.
