Temperature and Circadian Rhythms
Body temperature fluctuates throughout the day, peaking in the late afternoon and reaching its lowest point around 4 AM. These rhythms are influenced by external cues like light and exercise, challenging the notion of a fixed "normal" temperature. Understanding these patterns can enhance awareness of our natural cycles and their impact on wakefulness and sleep.In this clip

I have a question about this episode Using Science to Optimize Sleep, Learning & Metabolism | Huberman Lab Podcast #3 and this Temperature and Circadian Rhythms. If I wake up at 8:30 AM and understand that my temperature minimum was at 6:30 AM, how does this help me understand my circadian rhythm? For example, consider two scenarios: one where I see immediate bright light upon waking and another where I wait 2-3 hours and hit the gym around 12 PM.
