I wonder if there are studies linking this disease to occupations which routinely disturb ones circadian rhythm like air travel.



Certainly been ones looking at effects of lack of sleep and this jumped out: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/sleep-d...

I'd imagine shift workers would be a source of study about sleep impact.
