Key Concepts

Circadian Rhythms

Circadian rhythms are intrinsic, roughly 24-hour cycles in biological processes that help regulate sleep, hormone production, metabolism, and other vital functions. These rhythms are driven by an internal biological clock and are influenced by external cues such as light and temperature, ensuring that physiological processes align with the day-night cycle.
