Zeitgebers are external cues that the circadian rhythm uses to maintain a 24-hour cycle. Zeitgebers provide information about the external clock. The body uses this information to synchronize the circadian rhythm with external time. The most significant zeitgeber is light. Food, exercise, social interactions, temperature, atmospheric conditions are other zeitgebers.
