Top 10 Circadian Rhythm Facts
Scientific advancements in the understanding of the powerful role of circadian rhythms in physical health, cognitive function and mental well-being have led to a specialized branch of biological study called chronobiology. However, as modern as this field of study may sound, the scientific observations and evidence supporting chronobiology – at essence, the study of circadian […]
Reset Your Circadian Rhythm for Better Sleep and Good Health
The highly complex, smoothly integrated mind and body systems humans enjoy evolved in tune to the approximately 24-hour period that encompasses day and night. We are fine-tuned down to the molecular level to operate in time with this daily, or circadian, rhythm, with even cellular functions being timed according to this cycle. Disrupting the circadian […]
