We all have a body clock, known as a Circadian Rhythm. The ‘body clock’ exists in every organ in your body. Every organ, indeed every cell in your body, is on this 24 hours cycle. This includes your stomach, your skin and your muscles. There is a central pacemaker in the brain that they give the feedback to (called the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus).

Insomnia is a normal adaptive response in the short term to the ‘fight or flight mode’. Reduced sleep is designed to help you manage the risks and stress in your life. If your insomnia has only being occurring between 1-4 weeks, there is not need to do anything about it.
