The circadian rhythm is important in many forms of life in 24 hour intervals. It has been widely observed in animals, plants, fungi, cyanobacteria and more. Endogenous, in 2017, Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash and Michael W. Young won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. For their discoveries of molecular mechanisms controlling the circadian rhythm in fruit flies. The importance of rhythms keeps us going. Falling out of any sort of rhythm big or small could potentially put your life out of balance. This is why discipline is needed to maintain and why I am serious about my daily activity. Thank you Pointless Overthinking for this interesting article and teaching me the skills and methods of circadian rhythm.
