Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythms are natural, internal processes that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and other physiological functions over a 24-hour period. Governed by an internal biological clock located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain, these rhythms influence sleep, hormone release, eating habits, and body temperature. Light exposure plays a crucial role in synchronizing circadian rhythms, signaling the body when to be awake or asleep.

Disruptions to these rhythms, often caused by irregular sleep patterns, shift work, or exposure to artificial light, can lead to sleep disorders, metabolic issues, and mood disturbances. Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and minimizing exposure to blue light at night can help support healthy circadian rhythms, ultimately enhancing overall well-being and productivity.
