The Circadian Rhythm: Governed by Two Primary Forces

The circadian system, regulated by the suprachiasmatic nucleus in the brain, is affected by light entering the eyes triggering the secretion of melatonin. The timing of sleep is crucial as many bodily functions including heart rate and body temperature operate on a circadian rhythm. Disruptions like the daylight saving time change can lead to decreased sleep duration, affecting overall alertness, productivity, and health.
