Understanding Circadian Rhythms

• Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that regulate various biological processes in our bodies.
• They control our sleep-wake cycle, hormone production, body temperature, and more.
• Suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain acts as the master clock, receiving signals from light and regulating our internal clock.
• Disruptions to circadian rhythms can lead to sleep disorders, mood changes, and health issues.
