Time matters: How does circadian rhythm affect the performance and regeneration of the body and mind?
Every day, the body alternates between phases of activity and regeneration. Circadian rhythm, the natural biological clock that controls our physiological processes, affects not only sleep and wakefulness, but also mental performance, immunity, metabolism and longevity. If we live in harmony with this rhythm, our body can function more efficiently – we potentially have more energy, better concentration, a stronger immune system and better regeneration. How does circadian rhythm affect our performance during the day and why is it important to respect it?
