🧠 The Human Biological Clock
Our 24-Hour Circadian Rhythm
Every human body runs on an internal timer called the biological clock. This clock is controlled by the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN) in the brain, which syncs with sunlight and darkness to keep us balanced.

🌞 Day vs 🌙 Night
- Morning alertness: Cortisol levels rise, body temperature increases, metabolism speeds up.
- Night sleepiness: Melatonin is released, body temperature drops, energy slows down.
- Hormone cycles: Growth hormone peaks at night, helping repair and restore the body.

⚠️ Why It Matters
Disruptions like late-night screen use, night shifts, or jet lag confuse the clock. This can lead to fatigue, stress, obesity, diabetes, and even heart problems.
