Perioperative circadian monitoring is clinically important because abnormal melatonin patterns have been linked to postoperative sleep disturbance and delirium. Anaesthesia, surgery, inflammation, and pain can alter melatonin and cortisol secretion around surgery. Circadian rhythms are approximately 24-hour endogenous oscillations coordinated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Circadian rhythm disruption is associated with several neurologic, psychiatric, metabolic, cardiovascular, allergic, and immune disorders.
