Circadian Rhythms The human body uses light cues, such as those provided by the sun, to time certain internal functions. Properly timed rhythms regulate mood, sleep, energy, appetite, and digestion. These daily internal cycles, called circadian rhythms, sometimes fall out of sync, resulting in an unregulated body clock. Unfortunately, modern living has dramatically altered nature’s cues. A modern day no longer starts at the crack of dawn and ends at 8:00 PM.
