The fast-track current lifestyle and the modern inventions that cater to all our needs has changed all this. We no longer need to depend on sunlight to provide us light. Night now is not for resting but to relax, dine and entertain ourselves. All this plays havoc with our internal rhythm. The physiology of the internal milieu of our body slowly gets diseased. The circadian related disorders are reaching epidemic proportions. For example, the rate of depression and related disorders has doubled over the last 50 years, and sleep disorders have tripled during the same time.

A clock that has worked perfectly for hundreds of generations, if meddled with, is producing new diseases that were unheard of in the past.

Circadian balance happens when we’re in harmony with nature’s cues or signals. To feel at the top of the world we need to get up early, feel great during the day and sleep well at night. Basically we are feeling our best when we are in our rhythm!
