Detailed explanation-1: -Chronobiology is the study of circadian rhythms. One example of a light-related circadian rhythm is sleeping at night and being awake during the day. The Average Teen Circadian Cycle image shows the circadian rhythm cycle of a typical teen.

Detailed explanation-2: -These repeating 24-hour cycles are called the circadian rhythm. Your body tries to align your sleep-wake cycle to cues from the environment, such as when it gets light or dark outside, when you eat, and when you are physically active.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cycles of change that complete within 24 h are known as circadian rhythms and include examples such as the sleep/wake cycle, body temperature change, and release of hormones such as melatonin and cortisol.

Detailed explanation-4: -One of the most important and well-known circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle. Different systems of the body follow circadian rhythms that are synchronized with a master clock in the brain.

Detailed explanation-5: -Circadian in Latin means “around or approximately” (circa) “a day” (diem). Circadian rhythm is the name given to your body’s 24-hour “internal clock.” This internal clock controls your body’s sleep-wake cycle.
