Your internal body clock, also referred to as your wake-sleep cycle or your circadian rhythm determines when you wake up and go to sleep, it also influences your energy levels throughout the day.
🌞 In the morning and during the day, light exposure sends signals to your brain that generate alertness, keeping us awake and active.
🌛 In the evening as night falls the loss of daylight informs your brain and body that it is time for bed. Your brain initiates the production of melatonin; the hormone that makes you feel drowsy, it promotes sleep and helps us stay asleep through the night.
💤 Exposure to light during the day and lack of it at night time is considered an extremely influential factor affecting your circadian rhythm.
⏰ Your body clock loves consistency. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up in the morning at the same time too, even at weekends!
Your body clock plays a huge role in your sleep quality as well as how you feel throughout the day. Your body clock is unique, listen to yours.
