I'm 99% sure every teenager just doesn't research about these as they seem pretty unimportant and appear to be the same as "circadian rhythm"
What are circadian clocks?
Every cell in your body has an internal 24hr clock driven by a loop of protiens that switch genes on and off in a cycle; circadian clocks
The three main signals that sync your clocks are light, food, and movement (these are called zeitgebers)
Why should you care?
They regulate practically everything at a cellular level like when your hair grows and hormones get released
How do I optimize?
You need to optimize
1. Light
-Get morning sunlight within an hr of waking up
-Blue light (Light from your electronic devices) suppresses melatonin and confuses your dumb ahh cells into thinking it's daytime
2. Food timing
-Eat at consistent timings to sync your digestive organ clocks
-Stop being a fatty at late night, your metabolic cells are resting
-Eat all your meals within 8-10hrs
3. Exercise
-Exercise in the morning or afternoon, not at night cuz ur embarrased ur parents'll catch u
-Be consistent, don't do a crazy schedule like working once at 12pm, another day at 5pm
4. Sleep
-Same wake time everday (master clock uses ur wake time as its anchor point)
TLDR FOR THE DNR MFS:
A circadian clock keeps in check on when your hormones are released, when your hair grows and more
Your clock is set by when you eat, move, and see light
Rep sar pls
