Circadian Rhythms (1)

In class, one significant thing that has stuck out to me has been the topic of circadian rhythms.  I had never known that our body operates on a type of internal clock.  Knowing this now, it makes a lot of sense and explains a lot of things well.  After being in Wales for a month this summer, jet lag was a major problem once I got there and also when I came back to the states.  Knowing that my body went through an internal time change in regards to energy highs and lows and adjusted to when sunlight is visible helped me better understand the effects of jet lag, as well as the concept of circadian rhythms. The entire concept is fascinating to me, and I'm excited to continue learning about sleep and the things that accompany it.
