The Importance of Circadian Rhythm

Circadian rhythm plays a vital role in overall wellness, often misunderstood as simply getting enough sleep. Many people assume sleeping seven to eight hours at any time is sufficient, but the timing of sleep is just as crucial. Disruption of this rhythm can lead to serious health issues like obesity, diabetes, and mood disorders, as studies have shown that poor sleep quality adversely affects hormonal function and stress responses. Achieving balance involves implementing consistent sleep and wake times, reducing light pollution in the environment, and embracing morning sunlight exposure to realign the body's internal clock.
