Phototherapy is one treatment of circadian sleep-wake disorders, which is based on consensual and numerous scientific and clinical evidences. Phototherapy efficiency depends on several light characteristics based on intensity, length of exposure, time of exposure and wavelength. Phototherapy is potentially indicated in the following circadian disorders: advanced sleep-wake phase disorder (ASWPD), delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (DSWPD), non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder (N24SWD), jet-lag and night-shift work sleep-wake disorders (NSSWD). Phototherapy, acting via the retina, may be avoided in patients with retina disorders, an ophthalmologist should be consulted.

The Alertapnée study followed 555 adults with obstructive sleep apnea treated with CPAP and found that the occurrence of Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) was linked to a 14-fold increase in the risk of significant cardiac events (SCE) after one year. However, the progression and clinical significance of CSR episodes over time remain unclear. This ancillary study aimed to assess CSR progression and clinical outcomes during a second year of follow-up in 66 patients who had experienced at least one CSR episode in the first year.
