Glossary Circadian Rhythms

natural, internal processes regulating sleep-wake cycles every 24 hours

Circadian rhythms are natural, internal processes that regulate the sleep-wake cycle and repeat roughly every 24 hours. These rhythms are driven by the body's "biological clock," which is influenced by external cues like light and temperature, and they play a crucial role in determining sleep patterns, feeding behavior, hormone release, and other bodily functions.

community Circadian rhythm disruption and its potential impact on hair growth cycles

in Technology 7 upvotes 4 months ago

Poor sleep quality may affect hair growth cycles by disrupting the body's natural clock and stress hormones. The focus should be on improving sleep to support overall health, including hair growth, rather than relying solely on treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.

community 23M Wierd blood test results after 7 months on finasteroid (1mg daily)

5 upvotes 8 months ago

A user experienced unexpected hormone test results after 7 months on 1mg daily finasteride, noting a decrease in estradiol despite expectations of an increase. Other users suggested that hormone responses can vary and that finasteride might still be effective if DHT levels are within range, while also mentioning factors like circadian rhythm and stress that could impact results.

community Oral minoxidil users, for your interest
