The human body clock, known as the circadian rhythm, lives in a region of the brain’s hypothalamus known as the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). It determines whether you feel awake or sleepy by ...

“The circadian rhythm is primarily controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the hypothalamus, which responds to light and darkness to keep your body synchronized with the day-night cycle.

In vertebrates, including humans, this biological rhythm is governed by a master clock in the brain, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). However, because the human brain has about 20,000 ...

This circadian cycle is overseen by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a network of neurons in the hypothalamus, one of the oldest areas of the brain. Cells in the SCN are light-sensitive ...
