Biological Rhythms
Among them, the circadian rhythms (from the Latin circa, "around" and diem, "a day") which represent every variation over a period of about 24h (following the light/dark cycle caused by the rotation of the Earth) . All our organism's functions (body temperature, digestion, hormonal secretion, ...) are controlled by these rhythms, therefore it is essential to be aware of your own internal clock and to know how to listen to it.
Sleep is one of these rhythms, which is why it is very important that sleep is present in sufficient quantity and adapted to your individual needs. Today more than ever before, people either don’t get enough sleep or have irregular and unstable sleep timing due to professional and social constraints such as night work or international travel. These pressures together chronically disrupt the internal body clock.
However, disorders of these circadian rhythms can have effects both on our metabolism and our immune and cardiovascular system as well as on our psychic (depression, anxiety, ...).
On the contrary, becoming aware of our biological rhythms, and knowing their operation mode, will allow us to adapt our day according to our own needs, and thus, sleep better, improve our well-being and increase our performance.
