Sleep and circadian rhythms are intrinsically linked through the hypothalamus, which regulates both processes [1], [2]. Their bidirectional relationship is a subject of extensive scientific study regarding health and brain function [3], [4], [5], and they are frequently analyzed together in clinical research on shift work and disease modification [6], [7], [8].
