Irregular sleep-wake rhythm is a type of [[circadian rhythm disorder]] that affects the timing of a person's sleep. In this disorder, the person does not have a regular sleep pattern and may experience multiple, brief naps throughout the day and night instead of having one or two consolidated periods of sleep.
==Causes==
Irregular sleep-wake rhythm can be caused by a variety of factors, including [[dementia]], [[Parkinson's disease]], head injury, [[sleep deprivation]], and certain medications. People with irregular sleep-wake rhythm may experience difficulty sleeping, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating during the day.
==Treatment==
Treatment for irregular sleep-wake rhythm may involve adjusting the sleep environment, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and avoiding stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine. In some cases, medication may also be used to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. If you are experiencing symptoms of irregular sleep-wake rhythm, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
