Deep biological mechanisms around wakefulness, time of waking, sleep, etc., are subject to neural plasticity. Eating on a regular schedule can create an anticipatory circuit in the brain, making you feel hungry and agitated before meal times. Over time, the neural circuits controlling eating become tuned to the rhythms, creating a unique eating circuit. Similar patterns can be observed in waking, exercise, and other activities. By getting into a pattern or rhythm, the body can anticipate and prepare for the ensuing activity, making it easier to wake up early or exercise at a specific time. This is the beauty of neural plasticity.
