    Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis ($\text{NEAT}$)
    A key mitigation concept is optimizing Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis ($\text{NEAT}$). $\text{NEAT}$ refers to the energy expended for everything that is not sleeping, eating, or sports-like exercise. While increasing $\text{NEAT}$ is beneficial, research indicates that $\text{NEAT}$ accrued in short bursts (less than 3 minutes) exhibits a logarithmic decay in its benefit factor regarding $\…

    The Role in Temporal Distortion
    Disruption of SCN function—such as bilateral ablation—results in the complete loss of robust circadian rhythmicity in observable parameters (e.g., activity, corticosterone release). The remaining peripheral rhythms become "free-running" at their inherent molecular periods, which are often slightly longer or shorter than 24 hours.
    Furthermore, the SCN is implicated in the phenomenon known as [Chron…
