Disambiguation page[edit]

There's an emerging medical field called chronotherapy to do with delivering medical treatment on a schedule that takes advantage of bodily rhythms. Suggest dismabiguation page.

I've added a disambig notice for now. After the second article is written, a disambig page would make sense. Kla'quot 07:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it is harder than one would think T_T

Agree ;) Kla'quot 07:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm. Nothing on this since 2007?!

I think we need two articles, rather than a disambiguation page: Chronotherapy (sleep phase) and Chronotherapy (treatment scheduling) (or something like that).

Anyone interested in either of these is going to type 'Chronotherapy' in the search box. (Not 'Sleep phase chrono...').

Done. I've created the 2 mentioned articles (no longer redlinked). (Golly, it took me over an hour!) IMO there is no need for a disambiguation page.

(The page on treatment scheduling needs a LOT of work. It's not within my area of interest.) Hordaland (talk) 03:55, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, not entirely done. This Talk page is OK, but the one for the treatment scheduling article has disappeared. I've asked on User talk:Emaus for help. Hordaland (talk) 06:28, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Example[edit]

This example looks really weird. The main paragraph talks about chronotherapy primarily as a treatment for delayed sleep phase disorder. but someone with DSPS can't just go to sleep at 5pm on day 1. That's kind of the whole point of the disorder, that your circadian rhythm is shifted late and people can't go to sleep until much later than that - it'd be much more plausible for day 1's sleep time to be 5am, not pm. Is this meant to be an example for ASPS? - 86.7.177.177 (talk) 20:10, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong example[edit]

Old Edit number 967257564 completely changed the right way of programming Chronotherapy (3 or 4 hours sleep shifts, check Treatment for "Circadian Disorders of the Sleep-Wake Cycle" article^[1]"). The method that the editor provides is completely useless for most patients which find difficult to wake up earlier with the same amount of time. There is a variation of vastly incrementing the sleep time but not the way it's proposed. Please check bibliography for this purpose. I would suggest revert back to the old example which was fine (Old Edit number: 936729840) — Preceding unsigned comment added by SirLouen (talk • contribs) 20:55, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
