Sleep Health & Circadian Health
Improving your sleep and embracing your circadian rhythm are transformative—your sleep and circadian rhythm touch every aspect of your life. Discover the science behind sleep and circadian rhythms—how your body’s internal clock works and why it matters. From getting morning sunlight to reducing caffeine and screen time, discover practical ways to optimize your daily routine—and the wide-ranging benefits these changes can bring to your overall well-being.
Sleep & Circadian Problems
Sleep-wake and circadian problems are common – but common does not mean normal. In this section, we explore how common these disorders are and examine their far-reaching impacts—not only on individual health and well-being but also from a broader public health standpoint. With over 70 distinct types of sleep disorders, we will guide you through the key classifications, diagnostic approaches, and treatment strategies used to address these complex conditions.
Across The Body
We’re learning more every day about how sleep and circadian disorders are inseparable from other health conditions throughout the body. In this section, we aim to provide clear, evidence-based education on the connection between sleep-wake and circadian disorders and other health conditions. Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge and tools to enhance your daily life and confidently engage with your healthcare team in finding personalized solutions that support your overall well-being.

Why Now?
The Science of Whole-Day Health
Sleep is your nightly repair crew. Circadian health is your body’s master schedule—keeping every system running in sync.
When your rhythms are strong, so is your health. When they’re disrupted, risks rise: diabetes, depression, heart disease—even cancer.
The science is clear: circadian biology impacts virtually every aspect of health. And as research advances, we’re discovering just how central these rhythms are to preventing disease and optimizing wellbeing.
That’s why we’re expanding our focus now—putting the power of your body’s clock back where it belongs: in your hands.
When we were building out our new direction, the concern was that no one knows what circadian means. My response? Exactly. That’s our purpose. Share the words to what we experience across all 24 hours.” — Dr. Anne Marie Morse, Chair, Board of Directors, WSCN
Our Call to Action
We remain grounded in the work you’ve trusted:
