Circadian Syndrome

Meaning

A constellation of metabolic and physiological disturbances that arise from chronic misalignment between the body’s intrinsic circadian rhythm, controlled by the central biological clock, and external behavioral or environmental cues. This profound desynchronization can manifest as metabolic dysregulation, including insulin resistance, altered glucose tolerance, and persistent inflammatory states. It represents a systemic disruption of the fundamental temporal organization of human physiology, significantly impacting hormonal output and overall metabolic efficiency.
