How the biological clock regulates phases of wakefulness
The circadian clock is an internal biological system that regulates sleep-wake cycles, as well as many physiological functions such as body temperature and hormone production.
AI Summary
The circadian clock is an internal biological system that controls sleep‑wake cycles and other physiological functions, including body temperature and hormone production. In many animals, the clock operates through a network of neurons that produce rhythms of roughly 24 hours. This neuronal network generates the daily timing signals that coordinate the body’s internal processes.
