Should you need to know what are the best hours for your maximum alertness, what are your maximum somnolence hours and what is the recommended waking up time the circadian rhythm study is of maximum utility.
There is a natural human tendency to sleep in the middle of the day (siesta time), which is not contemplated in our society. With the circadian rhythm study we can know which is the real tendency for siesta for each person, which can be important for the social productivity. The sleep center has designed a unique method in order to study the individual circadian rhythm which helps to answer the above questions.
The circadian rhythm study will give you close information about the average:
- Sleep hours for each day
- Time needed to become asleep
- Number of total awakenings for each night
- Time in bed after final awakening
- Needed time to achieve the best level of alertness
- Somnolence during the day
- Tendency to "siesta" and best time to do it
- Recommended waking time

To
do the study it is not necessary to go to the sleep center because you
only need to fill up a simple test which will take no more than a minute
per day during a month. By means of a program designed in our center
we obtain the mentioned data. Lately we will send you a full written
report. The study is useful to detect the tendency to sleep and to become
awake, being a complementary test to the polysomnographic studies which
can be indicated to detect specific pathology.
