Body clock typically follows a 24-hour repeating rhythm. The rhythm affects every cell, tissue, and organ in your body and how they work. • We’re not sleeping at the time when our body is prepared and ready to sleep, or if we are not completing our sleep hours, it leads to sleep deprivation. www.add15years.comwww.add15years.in
