But in real life, in every day, we are also making a lot of decisions. So, for example, you walk into a store to pick up your coffee, and you're seeing a lot of food choices in front of you. And your brain has to take that information and process and decide what you're going to order or what you're going to eat. You are walking into your kitchen.

Should I get the donuts or should I eat the vegetables? Yeah. And even if you had promised last night that you will eat healthy, because of sleep deprivation, now the brain is making a lot of bad decisions. I'll say, oh, maybe just one day, just this time.

We justify things to ourselves. So that's why you get into this vicious cycle that your sleep is disrupted and you make bad food choices. And then bad food choices will also perpetuate that habit because this highly processed food also gives you a glucose spike and then you go into the low and then you have to

compensated for that by drinking coffee to come back to full energy and then when this continues throughout the day then you have late night coffee intake and that disrupts again another night of sleep and it continues right so now the point is you know we

we designed this anthropogenic world or the man-made world over the last 150 years of post-industrial era without knowing how important is this circadian rhythm. So it's almost like building all our buildings with lead and asbestos that we did up to 1970s without knowing what are the harmful effects of those bad things. And now we are trying to clean up that.

So similarly, this is a point only in the last 20, 25 years We have begun to understand what is the role of this circadian rhythm, 24 hours rhythm. And when we disrupt these rhythms, what happens? So I think this is, we are just at the beginning of understanding how these rhythms affect so that we can redesign our world.

It's not that we have to switch off our light at 8 o'clock in the evening and then go to bed every night at 10 o'clock and wake up at 5 o'clock. But the challenge is how do we understand circadian rhythm in a way that we can still continue to perform at our peak physical, emotional, intellectual performance at any age and at any health condition and still continue to be healthy.

Yeah. I mean, when we think about lifestyle, when we say, what is your lifestyle? We always talk about how lifestyle affects health. And what I say, lifestyle is what, when, and how much we eat, sleep, and move around or physically active. So out of these three, for eating and for moving, you have to actually make a conscious effort and you have to invest.
