The result? Chronic fatigue, mood swings, stubborn weight, and brain fog I couldn’t shake.
5 Common Habits That Disrupt Your Internal Clock:
– Reaching for your phone first thing in the morning
– Skipping breakfast and starting your day with coffee
– Staying indoors and avoiding natural light
– Falling asleep to TV or scrolling at night
– Eating late-night snacks close to bedtime
What’s Really Happening:
Your circadian rhythm is your body’s internal 24-hour clock—regulating sleep, energy, digestion, hormone production, and more.
It’s controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in your brain and is directly influenced by light, food, and behavior.
When this rhythm is thrown off, it can lead to poor sleep quality, cortisol imbalances, slower metabolism, and even immune dysregulation.
How to Reset Your Clock Naturally:
– Get direct sunlight within the first hour of waking
– Wake and sleep at the same time every day—even weekends
– Keep your bedroom cool, dark, and screen-free
– Avoid screens 1–2 hours before bed
– Finish eating 2–3 hours before sleep
Optimizing your circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep. It’s about unlocking better energy, mood, focus, and long-term health.
