shortened and/or disturbed sleep/wake cycle.

Explanation:

Any harm to the hypothalamus could create disorders in sleep cycles.

The ventrolateral preoptic nucleus is responsible for the switch between wakefulness and sleep, as it inhibits activity that sustains wakefulness. Many neuropeptide-producing neurons located in the hypothalamus, such as orexin/hypocretin-producing neurons, are involved in the control of sleep/wakefulness.
