If Merriam Webster says rhythm is a procedure with a patterned recurrence of a beat then my circadian rhythm really has no rhythm for it functions as it pleases, day to day without a definite pattern. I no longer reach stage four of my sleep cycle, my day is rather split into two sets of slumber: A nap and a, well, night's sleep.
I'd like to further delve into this highly valued act of man as I have come to realize that each form of slumber distinguishes from the other in terms of the works of our minds, at least of mine. And if I am wronged by the notion that sleeping is not a highly valued act of man, or a value at all, then I have obliterated the fact that we live in a country bombarded by the media that exerts a great amount of stress upon it's citizen: America. In that case, we are citizens that live like zombie-bats.
What your mind envisions during a nap distinguishes from that of a heavy sleep at night. For a nap triggers your mind to philosophize about anything, and this takes place within the mere seconds before sinking into your subtle slumber. You create new ideas, theories, hypotheses, anything that makes sense, you create a new thread of thought and hope to still have that grip on it the moment you wake up.
As for our regular sleeps at night, we dream. I know I didn't mention dreams during naps, but our thoughts are dreams, we have different types of dreams during the day and at night. The dreams that take stage during night encompass our unconscious analysis of our day. We are also exposed to new images, unfamiliar to us, that function as messengers teaching us something about ourselves.

There is ongoing research in the area of sleep disorders -- particularly those of circadian rhythm. Japan and the US have even sought patents on new medication designed to address the per2 gene on chromosome 2. Consider an assessment.
It may not make a difference, but anything is worth a try.

circadian rhythm(in terms of sleeping) hasnt really existed since the invention of indoor lighting...therefore you can sleep whenever you want to and it has no bearing on the normal cycle of the day.
and since when is sleep valuable? it's actually a necessity to humans since our brains require that particular cycle of the day so as not to go completely bonkers...literally.
also you need to chill out in your media class in university, you're too pedantic. feel free to use less jargon...
but other than that, you have an interesting view on sleep and dreaming.

Winston Churchill also took a nap in the afternoon, so you are in good company.
He received insight to help him with his daily decisions.
