The importance of a daily routine
Researchers have observed that following a regular schedule can have beneficial effects on the mental and physical health of individuals, especially among older adults.
This routine includes fixed times for waking, eating, socializing, and sleeping.
Reduction of pain and depression
The results show that these habits can help reduce pain and depressive symptoms, even if sleep quality is not optimal.
This suggests that regularity may play a key role in overall well-being.
Strengthening the internal clock
Maintaining regular schedules could help strengthen the body's biological clock, which is essential for the proper functioning of various physiological processes.
It can also limit the disruptive effects of 'social jet lag', which occurs when sleep and wake times are misaligned.
