Why We’re Always Tired: The Missing Role of Natural Rhythms

What if the way we structure time is quietly affecting our stress, sleep, and overall wellbeing?

In this fascinating episode, Darren and Simon explore the intersection of cosmology, culture, and lifestyle medicine, uncovering how ancient rhythms still shape our modern lives—often without us realising it.

From the origins of the seven-day week to the science behind lunar cycles and tides, they unpack how natural patterns have influenced human behaviour for centuries. The conversation also dives into the importance of rest, Sabbath, and recovery, and why reconnecting with these rhythms may be key to managing stress in today’s always-on world.

You’ll discover:

• How cosmological cycles influenced our calendars and routines
• The science behind tides, the moon, and biological rhythms
• Why the seven-day week persists across cultures
• The role of rest and Sabbath in stress management and wellbeing
• How animals, plants, and humans respond to natural rhythms
• Why modern life may be out of sync—and what you can do about it

If you’ve ever felt constantly “on,” disconnected, or out of balance, this episode offers a powerful reminder: sometimes the answer isn’t doing more—it’s realigning with the rhythms we’ve always been part of.
