Sleeping in the Dark: 10 Surprising Effects on Your Body
第3話 - 3. The Circadian Rhythm is Disrupted
The circadian rhythm is our body's internal clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle. When we sleep in the dark, our circadian rhythm is aligned with natural light and darkness cues, allowing us to fall asleep and wake up at the right times. However, when we disrupt this rhythm by sleeping with lights on or exposing ourselves to artificial light at night, our body gets confused. This can lead to irregular sleep patterns, difficulty falling asleep, and even insomnia. The circadian rhythm disruption can throw off our body's natural balance, impacting not only our sleep but also our overall health and well-being.
