 CIRCADIAN RHYTHM

What happens if the human body's biological clock is disrupted? Sleep is critical for humanity because some vital physiological repairs that are required can only be performed while sleeping. The circadian rhythm in the human body is also important for sleep because it is responsible for the secretion of hormones such as blood pressure regulation, melatonin, and growth hormone. As a result, disrupting this rhythm can cause many diseases. Three important solutions can be implemented to avoid these diseases: not using technological devices before going to bed, avoiding jet lag, and not working night shifts.

The first important problem of disturbance of the circadian rhythm is the lights emitted by electronic devices. Because the sun emits blue light in the morning and sends signals to the human body that it is time to wake up. When people look at their phones right before bed, they expose themselves to blue light, which wakes them up. For these reasons, electronic devices should be turned off two hours before bedtime. In addition, sleeping near electronic devices such as televisions, phones, or tablets should be avoided.

The jet lag effect is another problem that disrupts the circadian rhythm. People's circadian rhythms are adjusted by the time zone in which they live. Jet lag occurs when the circadian rhythm is unable to adjust to the new time zone in a short period. Loss of appetite and bodily pain are symptoms of this condition. There are no treatments, but the following are some suggestions. Firstly, do not overwork yourself the day before and on the day of the flight. Secondly, choose flight times that allow you to arrive early in the evening. Finally, staying awake during daylight hours aids in the elimination of jet lag.

The third problem that disrupts the circadian rhythm is the night shift. In the case of night shifts, people become awake when they should be sleeping, and this process disrupts people's internal rhythms. As a result, digestive issues are common among shift workers. To avoid this, it is critical to prioritize foods like fiber, fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole wheat bread. In other words, complex carbohydrates should be preferred over simple carbohydrates because simple carbohydrates can cause blood sugar irregularities.

In conclusion, three factors disrupt the circadian rhythm: light, jet lag, and night shifts. To avoid disrupting the circadian rhythm, turn off all electronic devices and sleep in a dark room before going to bed. Flight hours that can land early in the evening may be preferred to avoid jet lag. Also, if at all possible, avoid night shifts for your health's sake, because your health comes first.

WHAT IS CIRCADIAN RHYTHM?      Circadian rhythm is a person’s mental, physical, and behavioral pattern within a 24-hour period. Most living organisms, including animals and plants, have a circadian rhythm. How a person responds to light and darkness largely impacts this area of our lives.  Your circadian rhythm plays a significant role in when you sleep, and when you naturally wake up.      In short, this is your body’s internal clock that works to stimulate you to do something at the appropriate time. A small portion of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus is the part of the brain that controls the internal clock. Your body will respond to darkness. The body senses the lack of light and thinks that it’s nighttime, and it is time to sleep soon. Therefore, as the sun goes down, you may notice yourself become tired.      The main reason for this has to do with light. The sun produces blue light in the morning and blue light signals to your body that it is time to get up. However,

SLEEP STAGES & SLEEP CYCLE

  WHAT ARE THE STAGES OF SLEEP?   When you sleep, your brain goes through natural cycles of activity. There are four total stages of sleep, divided into two phases: Non-REM sleep happens first and includes three stages. The last two stage of non-REM sleep is when you sleep deeply. It’s hard to wake up from this stage of sleep. REM sleep happens about an hour to an hour and a half after falling asleep. REM sleep is when you tend to have vivid dreams.   As you sleep, your body cycles through non-REM and REM sleep. You usually start the sleep cycle with stage 1 of non-REM sleep. You pass through the other stages of non-REM sleep, followed by a short period of REM sleep. Then the cycle begins again at stage 1. A full sleep cycle takes about 90 to 110 minutes. Your first REM period is short. As the night goes on, you’ll have longer REM sleep and less deep sleep. What Is the Sleep Cycle?   Sleep is not uniform. Instead, over the course of the night, your total sleep is made up of several
