The Science of Chronobiology

Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms and their impact on various aspects of human physiology and behavior (Refinetti, 2016). Our internal clock, or circadian rhythm, regulates our sleep-wake cycle, hormone release, and cognitive functioning.

The circadian rhythm operates on a 24-hour cycle and is influenced by various external factors, including light and temperature. Disruptions to this rhythm can negatively affect our health and productivity, such as sleep disorders, mood disturbances, and impaired cognitive function.
