Biological Rhythm Entrainment

Meaning

Biological Rhythm Entrainment is the process by which an organism’s endogenous, self-sustained circadian rhythms are synchronized with external environmental cues, known as zeitgebers. This synchronization is crucial for maintaining optimal physiological timing across all bodily systems, from sleep-wake cycles to hormonal secretion patterns. Successful entrainment ensures that internal biological processes are optimally aligned with the external 24-hour day, promoting health and functional efficiency. Disruption of this entrainment can lead to various metabolic and cognitive impairments.
