Internal desynchronization has stimulated a great deal of theorizing. Loosely speaking, most of the proposed models postulate one of two time-keeping mechanisms: a pair of self-sustained oscillators with continuous coupling (Sections 5.1–5.3) or a fatigue variable building up and decaying between circadian-modulated thresholds; (Sections 5.4–5.6). Other approaches are discussed in Section 5.7.
