    What Is Circadian Misalignment?

    - By 

    In today’s 24/7 society, many people unknowingly suffer from circadian misalignment, a condition that silently disrupts your internal body clock. This misalignment between your biological rhythms and external cues such as light, food, and activity can wreak havoc on your health, performance, and overall well-being. What Is Circadian Misalignment? Circadian misalignment occurs when your internal body clock—also known as the circadian rhythm—is out of sync with your environment or behavior. Your circadian system is a 24-hour cycle that regulates sleep-wake timing, hormone release, metabolism, and even immune function. It’s controlled by a master clock in the brain (the suprachiasmatic nucleus)…

    What is Circadian Biology

    - By 

    Circadian biology is the study of the biological rhythms that follow a 24-hour cycle, influencing sleep, metabolism, hormone release, and many other essential bodily functions. These rhythms are driven by the circadian clock, an internal timekeeping system that helps the body anticipate and adapt to regular changes in the environment—especially the cycle of light and darkness. Understanding circadian biology is crucial in today’s fast-paced, artificial light-filled world, where many people suffer from circadian disruption without even realizing it. The Science Behind Circadian Biology At the heart of circadian biology is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a group of neurons located in…

    What Is the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus?

    - By 

    The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is a tiny but powerful structure in the brain that plays a massive role in how our bodies function on a daily basis. Often referred to as the master clock, the suprachiasmatic nucleus controls your circadian rhythm—the internal 24-hour cycle that regulates sleep, hormone release, body temperature, digestion, and other essential biological processes. Understanding what the suprachiasmatic nucleus does, how it works, and why it matters is key to improving your sleep, mental clarity, and overall health. Where Is the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus Located? The suprachiasmatic nucleus is located in the hypothalamus, just above the optic chiasm…
