Detailed explanation-1: -What are circadian rhythms? 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. Chronobiology is the study of circadian rhythms.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. Taking melatonina supplements can also shift the timing of the body’s “clock.”
Detailed explanation-3: -infradian rhythms: biological rhythms that last more than 24 hours, such as a menstrual cycle.
Detailed explanation-4: -Normal people have a circadian rhythm that is slightly longer than 24 hours. Every day, morning light and other behaviors reset the sleep-wake clock to a 24-hour schedule. Without light and this clock resetting, people’s sleep time will drift later and later. This is why many people who are blind have N24SWD.
