What is biological rhythm?

Biological rhythms are the natural cycle of change in our body’s chemicals or functions. It’s like an internal master “clock” that coordinates the other clocks in your body. The “clock” is located in the brain, right above the nerves where the eyes cross. It’s made up of thousands of nerve cells that help sync your body’s functions and activities.

There are four biological rhythms:

  1. circadian rhythms : the 24-hour cycle that includes physiological and behavioral rhythms like sleeping
  2. diurnal rhythms : the circadian rhythm synced with day and night
  3. ultradian rhythms : biological rhythms with a shorter period and higher frequency than circadian rhythms.
  4. Infradian rhythms : biological rhythms that last more than 24 hours, such as a menstrual cycle

The circadian clock plays a physical, mental, and behavioral role that responds to light and dark.
