Improve Your Sleep by Decoding Your Circadian ...

What I discovered after reading The Circadian Code by Dr. Satchin Panda was a better respect for all the circadian clocks in our body and the importance a good night of sleep has to ensure better performance the following days after.

While falling back doesn’t have the severe consequences as when we start daylight saving time, there is still an impact on your circadian rhythms, the 24-hour cycles that are part of the body’s internal clock.

It’s not just your sleep schedule that runs on a circadian rhythm. Many of your internal organs have their own clock that turns off and on with your circadian rhythm.
