Definition of circadian. : being, having, characterized by, or occurring in approximately 24-hour periods or cycles (as of biological activity or function) circadian rhythms in activity.
It's your own biological clock called your circadian rhythm. Coming from two Latin words: Circa, meaning 'approximately' and dies, meaning 'day,' this 'clock' regulates your sleeping pattern over the course of a 24-hour day. The circadian rhythm is mostly comprised of a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is located in the hypothalamus.
