Ritmos Circadianos

Según el National Institute of General Medical Sciences (n.d.), "los ritmos circadianos son los cambios físicos, mentales y conductuales que un organismo experimenta a lo largo de un ciclo de 24 horas." Estos ritmos están profundamente influenciados por el ciclo de luz y oscuridad, pero también por factores como el estrés, la actividad física y la temperatura.
