Circadian Disruption

Circadian disruption occurs when your body's internal clock, which regulates sleep, alertness, and other bodily functions over a roughly 24-hour cycle, is disturbed. This can happen due to irregular sleep schedules, shift work, travel across time zones, or exposure to light at night. When disrupted, it can lead to sleep problems, fatigue, mood changes, and even impact immune function and metabolic health. Essentially, your body’s natural rhythm gets out of sync with the environment, making it harder to rest properly and maintain overall well-being.
