Can you fall asleep easily? How restful is your sleep? How long does it take your mind and body to relax and find that sleepy tipping point?
All of these questions are connected to our circadian rhythm or the sleep-wake cycle. The circadian rhythm is our 24-hour internal clock that exists in the background of our brain and marks the regular cyclical periods between sleepiness and alertness at regular intervals.
For the majority of adults there are two specific times when their energy levels are lower, marking the periods of sleepiness:
- The period during the night, between 2:00 am and 4:00 am. This is the crucial time for deep sleep and the production of melatonin. It is also a unique opportunity for your body to regain energy and help reduce stress.
- The period during the day, between 1:00pm to 3:00pm. This period is less relevant to production of melatonin, but it can contribute to improved mood and energy levels.
By helping you get to the [sleepy zone], experience [deep sleep], and balance your melatonin levels, SleepyRead can also help you develop better habits with circadian rhythm in mind.
