Chronodisruption

Meaning

Chronodisruption is the clinical state defined by a persistent misalignment between an individual’s internal circadian rhythm and external environmental cues, particularly the critical light-dark cycle and the timing of feeding schedules. This physiological desynchronization impacts the master clock in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, subsequently perturbing the peripheral clocks located in various endocrine organs. It is a significant factor in hormonal health, as the critical secretion patterns of cortisol, melatonin, and growth hormone are inherently circadian and time-dependent. This disruption is frequently observed in shift workers or individuals experiencing chronic, unmanaged jet lag.
Restorative sleep supports vital hormone balance and cellular regeneration, crucial for metabolic wellness. This optimizes circadian rhythm regulation, enabling comprehensive patient recovery and long-term endocrine system support.
