Circadian Rythymn

Circadian rhythms are the physical, mental, and behavioral changes an organism experiences over a 24-hour cycle. Light and dark have the biggest influence on circadian rhythms, but food intake, stress, physical activity, social environment, and temperature also affect them.

You can reset your sleep schedule and circadian rhythms through lifestyle changes, because environmental factors impact these rhythms. Circadian rhythms are primarily influenced by the eyes being exposed to light and darkness, but they can also be affected by exercise, eating, and other factors.

The regulation of sleep is processed by the homeostatic physiology of the circadian rhythm, the sleep/wake cycle. Circadian rhythm is the 24-hour internal clock in our brain that regulates cycles of alertness and sleepiness by responding to light changes in our environment. Our physiology and behavior are shaped by the Earth’s rotation around its axis. This biological circadian system has evolved to help humans adapt to changes in our environment and anticipate changes in radiation, temperature, and food availability. Without this endogenous circadian clock, Homo sapiens would not be able to optimize energy expenditure and the internal physiology of the body.

Balance your circadian rythymn by -

• Gradually Adjust Your Schedule 

• Get Outside Early in the Day 

• Change Your Meal Times 

• Limit Alcohol and Caffeine

• Avoid Exercising Too Late 

• Reduce Artificial Light Exposure
