I’m sure you’ve probably heard before that humans are creatures of habit. But behind this saying lies a message that is very important for our everyday lives. Things that do over and again, that provide us with structure and serve as guidance, even when things are going haywire, give us the opportunity to save our energy for the really important things. Time also has a memory, because our body runs like clockwork and is bound to circadian rhythms. We can therefore use the temporal embedding of repetitive patterns to keep the body in balance.
