The Circadia Study (Circadia) is a novel "direct-to-participant" research study investigating the genetics of circadian rhythm disorders of advanced and delayed sleep phase and non-24 hour rhythms. The goals of the Circadia Study are twofold: (i) to create an easy-to-use toolkit for at-home circadian phase assessment for patients with circadian rhythm disorders through the use of novel in-home based surveys, tests, and collection kits; and (ii) create a richly phenotyped patient resource for genetic studies that will lead to new genetic loci associated with circadian rhythm disorders revealing possible loci of interest to target in the development of therapeutics for circadian rhythm disorders...
