- Medical Informatics
Background:
- Insomnia and circadian rhythm disorders represent a significant public health concern.
- Understanding the research landscape is crucial for advancing scientific discovery and therapeutic interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the research status of insomnia and circadian rhythm using CiteSpace.
- To identify emerging hot spots and trends in this field.
- To provide a foundation for future research directions.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive literature search was conducted on the Web of Science database.
- CiteSpace software was employed for bibliometric analysis and visualization.
- Analysis included collaboration networks, prolific authors, leading institutions, and keyword co-occurrence.
Main Results:
- The analysis encompassed 4,696 publications, with Bruno Etain as the most prolific author.
- The USA and the University of California led in publications.
- Key research areas included circadian rhythm sleep disorders, circadian clock, light therapy, melatonin, and bipolar disorder.
Conclusions:
- Active international and inter-institutional collaboration is recommended for future research.
- Current research trends focus on the interplay between insomnia, circadian rhythms, clock genes, and conditions like bipolar disorder.
- Circadian rhythm modulation, utilizing therapies such as light and melatonin, presents a promising avenue for future insomnia treatments.

02:19Circadian Rhythms and Gene Regulation
4.1K
The biological clock is involved in many aspects of regulating complex physiology in all animals. It was in 1935 when German zoologists, Hans Kalmus and Erwin Bünning, discovered the existence of circadian rhythm in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the internal molecular mechanisms behind the circadian clock remained a mystery until 1984, when Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young discovered the expression of the Per gene oscillating over a 24-hour cycle. In subsequent...

01:27Insomnia
110
Insomnia is a prevalent sleep disorder characterized by difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, and waking up too early without being able to return to sleep. People with insomnia often experience these disruptions at least three nights a week for at least one month. Chronic insomnia, which lasts for at least three months, can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn can worsen sleep difficulties, creating a cycle of sleeplessness and stress.

Sleep is an essential physiological process vital to maintaining overall well-being. The reticular activating system (RAS), a network of neurons in the brainstem, regulates wakefulness and sleep. While it may seem passive, sleep consists of distinct cycles, each with its unique characteristics and functions. Two key sleep phases are non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM).

01:19Management of Insomnia
281
The sleep cycle, an integral part of human health, consists of several stages with distinct characteristics and functions. It begins with a transition from wakefulness to sleep, known as the light sleep phase, followed by the restorative deep sleep phase, essential for physical recovery and growth. The cycle concludes with the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) phase, characterized by high brain activity and vivid dreaming. Insomnia, a prevalent sleep disorder, involves difficulty falling asleep, staying...

01:24Substance Use Disorders Affecting Sleep
198
Substance use disorders involve a pattern of using drugs more extensively than intended and continuing use despite harmful consequences. This includes legal substances like alcohol and nicotine, as well as illegal drugs. These disorders often involve both physical and psychological dependence, reflecting compulsive use of substances that significantly alter thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, contributing to a major public health issue.

Circadian rhythms are cyclic changes that are crucial in plasma drug concentrations. Various standard circadian parameters, including core body temperature, heart rate, and other cardiovascular factors, directly impact disease states and the therapeutic response to drug therapy.
