Importance of Circadian Rhythm and Sleep
Your circadian rhythm, a biological clock regulating your sleep-wake cycle, is vital for determining when you feel awake and sleepy. Factors like exposure to light, particularly sunlight, influence this rhythm by signaling your body to be active or prepare for rest. Genetic variations in genes like clock and per-2 can impact your circadian rhythm, affecting your sleep patterns, alertness levels, and overall health. Understanding your genetic variants can help optimize your circadian rhythm, leading to better sleep quality and overall well-being.
