The objective of chronotherapy is to optimize medical treatments taking into account the
body's circadian rhythms. Chronotherapy is referred to and practiced in two different
ways:(1) to alter the sleep–wake rhythms of patients to improve the sequels of several
pathologies;(2) to take into account the circadian rhythms of patients to improve
therapeutics. Even minor dysfunction of the biological clock can greatly affect sleep/wake
physiology causing excessive diurnal somnolence, increase in sleep onset latency, phase …
