Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
I've been feeling really tired lately, and I'm wondering if my body has a built-in clock.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, it does. Your body has a biological clock that regulates your sleep-wake cycle, also known as your circadian rhythm.<|im_end|>

What controls my circadian rhythm?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Your circadian rhythm is controlled by a small group of cells in your brain that respond to light and darkness to synchronize your bodily functions with the 24-hour day-night cycle.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That makes sense. So, is it possible to reset my circadian rhythm if it gets out of sync?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, it is possible to reset your circadian rhythm. Exposure to natural light, maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, and avoiding screens before bedtime can help regulate your biological clock.<|im_end|>
