Sleep Center
Center for Circadian Medicine
You come to the Center for Circadian Medicine to help your body rest, rebuild and renew. Without rest, you don’t survive. With rest, you essentially get a new heart in three days. You want that power of rest working for you.
First board certified in sleep medicine in 1992, Doctor Matthew Edlund practices traditional sleep medicine in combination with active rest techniques and body clock medicine in a way found nowhere else. Combining these three techniques can do much more than treat sleep apnea, narcolepsy, confusional arousals or insomnia and the many different kinds of ailments and personal and economic problems that afflict people with sleep disorders.
When people learn to actively rest and put together active rest techniques at the right times of day, they can control their weight, markedly decrease their risk of serious disease, and increase productivity and pleasure. Using all the different powers of rest can produce extraordinary results from ordinary activities.

Can you tell me if you have written any articles about Blue light?
I am trying to do some research on this product.
It’s a little confusing for me, as there are so many different types of lights for many different disorders.

Dear Ellie,
It’s a long, big topic, but some argue blue light is more effective for chonotherapy.
Dear Diane,
Thank you for your note. I wish that fewer Americans had trouble with sleep and rest, but the numbers are large and still increasing. Please feel free to call me at 941 365 4308.
Dear Tom,
Sadly, some people have trouble with melatonin – usually around headaches. Please call us tomorrow at 941 365 4308 and we’ll see what can be done.
Please look at the sleep chapter. Most people use some form of time giving alarm – generally radios, chimes, alarms, bed partners.
Dear Mike,
Over time, if people take sleeping pills chronically, sometimes their sleep pattern begins to look more “normal.” It’s as if the brain adjusts to the temporary drug effects and starts reasserting a more standard sleep architecture – which goes away as people first withdraw from the drug.
