Bioclock

A bioclock is a biological system in the body that helps regulate daily rhythms, like sleep-wake cycles, body temperature, and hormone release. Think of it as an internal clock that keeps your body synchronized with the 24-hour day-night cycle, enabling optimal functioning. This process is mainly controlled by the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus, which responds to environmental cues like light and darkness. The bioclock ensures that various bodily processes occur at the right times, promoting health, alertness, and well-being. Disruptions to this system can affect sleep, mood, and overall physical health.
