Circadian Rhythms and Sleep

(Page 2)

 

Human body is intelligent

Our body is very intelligent, and the timing of cues, such as sunlight, food and exercise, as well as a daily routine, keep our body in sync. Here are some powerful lifestyle tools to use in regulating your sleep-wake cycle:

·         The influence of sunlight

·         Routine of waking and sleep

·         Regular patterns of meal time

·         Exercise at the same time each day

 

These everyday rituals and routines can be very important tools to assist our circadian clock in running smoothly. Understanding how our “clock” works unlocks the code. It helps us grasp the importance of the role that biological and physical factors play in determining the rhythms of our daily lives, and in ensuring a good night’s rest.
