You Are When You Eat: Circadian Rhythms

We often talk about the importance of getting enough sleep, sunlight exposure and indeed aligning our sleeping patterns with our circadian rhythm. Paleo professionals often mandate: rise with the sun and start settling down for the night when it gets dark, cut out artificial light where possible and block blue light with programmes such as f.lux when late night working sessions are unavoidable. But despite trends in intermittent fasting and restricted eating windows we all too often neglect to think about when we eat.
