In episode 3 of this podcast, sleep and circadian rhythm expert, professor Frank Scheer discusses how our internal body clocks regulate physiology and behaviors in a 24-hour cycle. He explains how measures like dim light melatonin onset and cortisol rhythms provide insights into circadian timing. The discussion covers how factors like light exposure, meal timing, and sleep impact circadian rhythms and health. Dr. Scheer shares research on misaligning behaviors and physiology through social jet lag, night shifts, and mistimed eating. He suggests strategies like optimizing meal timing and light exposure to realign circadian rhythms. Overall, the discussion highlights how adjusting daily behaviors can improve circadian alignment, metabolism, mood, and wellbeing.
