Sleep Disruption

Meaning

Sleep Disruption is a clinical term describing any persistent disturbance in the quality, quantity, or timing of sleep that deviates from the optimal pattern necessary for restorative physiological function. This includes conditions like insomnia, sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disorders, all of which have profound, negative consequences for metabolic and hormonal health. Chronic sleep disruption is a major stressor that impairs endocrine signaling and accelerates aging.
