Our body has a natural rhythm where NAD levels fluctuate throughout the day rather than remaining constant, closely tied to our circadian rhythms.{{pmid|24051248}} A study by Shin Imai and his team highlighted that NAD plays a crucial role in regulating our body's internal clock. The Sirt-1 gene, which is influenced by NAD, signals our body when it's time to eat or sleep.

[[Dr. David Sinclair]] suggests to take NMN in the morning when the natural rise in NAD and [[SIRT1|Sirt-1]] activity should happen. Taking NMN e.g. at night might disrupt the NAD cycle and potentially affecting the sleep or hunger. This can be especially beneficial for frequent travelers trying to adjust to a new time zone, as a morning dose of NMN can help reset the body's internal clock and reduce jet lag. <ref>[[2021-12-27 - Interview Dr. David Sinclair - Huberman Lab Podcast - The Biology of Slowing & Reversing Aging]]</ref>
