Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Circadian rhythm is the 24-hour internal clock in our brain that regulates cycles of alertness and sleepiness by responding to light changes in our environment. Our physiology and behavior are shaped by the Earth’s rotation around its axis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The circadian clock has an internally driven 24-hour rhythm that tends to run longer than 24 hours but resets every day by the sun’s light/dark cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -The individual cellular clocks run on a cycle that is close to 24 hours. This is known as a circadian rhythm (“circa-” = about and “dian” = pertaining to a day). But because the clocks are not exact, the clocks of individual cells can drift apart from each other or from the earth’s day-night cycle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that are part of the body’s internal clock, running in the background to carry out essential functions and processes. One of the most important and well-known circadian rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle.
