What Are Circadian Rhythms?
Although many people time their lives by the clocks on their walls, the truth is that your body regulates your habits through a natural cycle tied to the sun and moon. These cycles determine periods of wakefulness and fatigue.
This video explains that circadian rhythms determine patterns of brain function, including 90-minute cycles of REM sleep during which your body is resting but your mind is active. Even with no day or night cues, your body possesses an internal alarm clock that determines when you should wake and sleep.
