The biological clock is an element belonging to the organism, which in the capacity to produce a certain amount of biological reactions continues in cycles. According to specialists, the biological clock is found in the brain area, specifically in the hypothalamus. This internal mechanism, typical of living beings, which allows to have a temporal orientation in terms of organic functions, associated with the rhythm of life.
This internal clock is the mechanism that is responsible for controlling the sleep / wake process in 24-hour cycles, but in addition to this, it can also affect the functioning of many organs such as muscles, heart, liver, etc., and influence other functions such as oxygen consumption at body temperature, among others.
All human beings identify night as the stage of the day where they rest and that the day is used to carry out all daily tasks (study, work, etc.) The human body has a schedule that is regulated by the clock biological. Now, if for some reason, these time slots will be altered suddenly, that is, for example, the bedtime is changed, the person could experience fatigue, bad mood, nervousness, etc. An example of this is when the person has to work at night and rest during the day.
Each person has a biological clock, a kind of internal stopwatch, which guides the physiological processes and behaviors that the body has periodically and is a specific time.
If you want a balance in the biological clock, it is necessary to maintain a periodic practice in relation to food, rest and daily activities, in this way you can improve the functioning of the body.
It is important to note the existence of some rhythms that have the particularity of coupling their "circadian" times, which depend on changes in light / dark and temperature in order to normalize certain aspects such as hunger, sleep, etc. These rhythms are called circadian because they last approximately 24 hours, that is, it is a close period, which does not necessarily have to be equal to one day.
For example, if a person locks himself in a room, where it is not possible to observe whether it is already dark or dawn, the same organism is the one who will tell the person when it is time to sleep and when it is time to eat. This shows that the physiology and behavior of humans and other living beings are regulated by the biological clock.
