Abstract
The endogenous circadian system drives physiological changes in accordance with periodic environmental changes, enabling humans to anticipate and adapt to daily changes—such as in temperature, feeding or fasting, and activity–rest cycles.1 There is an association between a disrupted endogenous circadian system and the development of some endocrine, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases.2
