Circadian rhythms are 24-hour biological cycles that orchestrate countless processes in the human body. From regulating hormones and energy levels to affecting memory and mental clarity, these rhythms are essential for maintaining health. Disruptions to our natural rhythms—caused by modern lifestyles, artificial lighting, or shift work—can lead to a range of issues, including sleep disorders, chronic disease, and diminished cognitive function.
Through engaging storytelling and evidence-based insights, Lynne Peeples will guide us in understanding the science of circadian rhythms and how aligning our daily routines with these natural cycles can improve sleep, boost productivity, and enhance overall well-being.
