More than a million people have taken our three confidential Automated Online Self-Assessments. Take one (or all) of them, and share the results with your therapist! Results can guide treatment decisions, such as choosing the best time of day for an individual to begin light therapy, if light therapy is appropriate.
Our Fact Sheets for the Public cover topics relating to sleep and mood. One sheet, tailored to the challenges the elderly face in getting a good night’s sleep as their eyes change with age, is of special interest for a increasing number of people.
Specialty Pages cover topics from Bedtime for Children to Daylight Saving Time, and from Chronotypes to Light Therapy.
Light Therapy and Circadian Rhythms, a course of three videos, covers:
- the biology of circadian rhythms
- how to set light and dark for personal and work schedules
- psychological factors in the origin and treatment of seasonal affective disorder.
This Treasury of carefully chosen selection of seminal papers and books gives an overview of major topics in the research, and applications, of the science of circadian rhythms. The introductions to each section can stand alone as a rich, often fascinating, history of the field.
Our suggestions range from manuals offering step-by-step guidance for chronotherapy to reflections on the evolution of circadian rhythms within the cycle of day, and night.
This collection of assessment instruments, designed and produced by the Clinical Chronobiology and Biometrics Research groups at Columbia University/New York State Psychiatric Institute, is available as a set at CET. Whether or not you plan to purchase the collection, you may want to see what tools health professionals find useful in diagnosing and disorders and treating sleep problems.
