| Summary: | Nocturia is a prevalent condition of waking to void during the night. The concept of nocturia has evolved from being a symptomatic
aspect of disease associated with the prostate or bladder to a form of lower urinary tract disorder. However, recent advances in
circadian biology and sleep science suggest that it might be important to consider nocturia as a form of circadian dysfunction. In
the current review, nocturia is reexamined with an introduction to sleep disorders and recent findings in circadian biology in an attempt
to highlight the importance of rediscovering nocturia as a problem of chronobiology. |
