Abstract
Biological periodicities occur based on a periodicity in a spectrum of frequencies ranging from milliseconds to years. A circadian rhythm is any biological process that displays an endogenous oscillation of about 24 h [1]. Circadian rhythm is the adaption of our bodies’ biological processes to the day and night cycle. Te biological clock is reset daily to synchronize with the exposure to sunlight because our internal clock repeats at around 24 h [1].
Because of the use of artifcial light, our internal clock is infuenced by multiple factors, including social interactions
