How Your Body’s Internal Clock Might Be Messing With Your Sleep?

Your body has a clock inside it that helps you know when to sleep and when to wake up, just like how your toy knows when to light up or make noise.

Imagine your body is like a robot with a timer, this internal clock tells your brain when it's time to slow down for sleep and when it's time to speed up for being awake. It works based on the day and night cycle, kind of like how you know it’s bedtime because the lights go out.

Your body clock is affected by light, especially sunlight. When the sun comes out in the morning, it tells your brain to start the day, making you feel awake and ready to play or learn new things.

But when it gets dark at night, your body starts getting ready for sleep, like how you get ready for bed by putting on pajamas and brushing your teeth.

Sometimes, if you stay up too late or wake up too early, maybe because of school or homework, your body clock can get confused. It’s like if your robot timer gets mixed up with another timer. That's why you might feel tired during the day or have trouble falling asleep at night.
