Your Natural Body Rhythm: Biocycles

Section 1.4 of the textbook describes circadian rhythms. You may have noticed that you have natural highs and lows throughout the day. Thinking about your own 90-minute cycle and how it may relate to yourself and learning, how would you prepare yourself for taking a big test in your course/class at the end of the day? If you need more information, consider reviewing the Circadian Rhythms Fact Sheet (https://www.nigms.nih.gov/education/Pages/Factsheet_CircadianRhythms.aspx) from the National Institutes of Health or the open-access Journal of Circadian Rhythms.
