**ریتم شبانه روزی** ساعت داخلی ۲۴ ساعته بدن است که چرخه خواب-بیداری، ترشح هورمونها (مثل ملاتونین در شب و کورتیزول در صبح)، و عملکردهایی مانند متابولیسم را تنظیم میکند. این ریتم توسط **هسته سوپراکیاسماتیک** در مغز کنترل شده و با نور/تاریکی هماهنگ میشود. اختلال آن (با نور مصنوعی، جتلاگ یا شیفتکاری) باعث خستگی، بیخوابی، یا مشکلات متابولیک میشود. برای تنظیم آن، نور صبحگاهی، برنامه منظم خواب و پرهیز از محرکها پیش از خواب توصیه میشود. تفاوتهای فردی (مثل شبزنده دار یا سحرخیز بودن) نیز تحت تأثیر ژنهاست.
