These insights pertain to (1) the conditions in which circadian rhythm s occur spontaneously\, with a period close to 24h\, in the form of limit cycle oscillations\, (2) circadian clock entrainment by the light-dark (LD ) cycle\, (3) the dynamical bases of sleep-wake cycle disorders related to the circadian-clock\, and (4) jet lag. The sleep disorders include the fa milial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS)\, the delayed sleep phase syn drome (DSPS)\, and the non-24h sleep-wake cycle syndrome\, in which the ph ase of the circadian clock drifts in the course of time. In regard to jet lag\, the computational approach accounts for two modes of re-entrainment observed after a phase shift in the LD cycle and reveals conditions in whi ch the resynchronization of the circadian clock may take a very long time. Repetitive perturbations of the circadian clock due to chronic jet lag ma y lead to irregular or even chaotic oscillations.\n\nReferences\n\nJ-C. Le loup\, A.
