Circadian rhythms are fundamental biological processes that recur approximately every 24 h, with the sleep–wake cycle or circadian behavior being a well‐known example. In the field of chronobiology, mice serve as valuable model animals for studying mammalian circadian rhythms due to their genetic similarity to humans and the availability of various genetic tools for manipulation. Monitoring locomotor activity in mice provides valuable insights into the impact of various conditions or disturbances on circadian behavior. In this review, we summarized the effects of disturbance of biological rhythms on circadian behavior in mice. External factors, especially light exert a significant impact on circadian behavior. Additionally, feeding timing, food composition, ambient temperature, and physical exercise contribute to variations in the behavior of the mouse. Internal factors, including gender, age, genetic background, and clock gene mutation or deletion, are effective as well. Understanding the effects of circadian disturbances on murine behavior is essential for gaining insights into the underlying mechanisms of circadian regulation and developing potential therapeutic interventions for circadian‐related disorders in humans.
