Summary:
- Our bodies have an internal "clock" called the circadian rhythm that regulates many important functions, like sleep, digestion, and hormone levels.
- Disrupting this natural body clock, such as by staying up late or working irregular hours, can have negative health effects like increased risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
- Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, exposing yourself to natural light during the day, and avoiding screens before bedtime can help keep your circadian rhythm in sync and support your overall health.
