biological clock is nothing but the rhythm which an organism follows.

it is very important for an organism to maintain biological clock, because of various reasons. some of them being

(following human examples are based on the natural rhythm where we work in the day and during night we sleep)

  1. changes in the hormones of the organism (cortisol levels in the humans during sleep decreases and then it rises during the morning time when you are about to wake up)
  2. reduction or increase in the activity of different organs or parts of tissue (brain activity in the sleep time increases)
  3. relaxation of the muscles during night
