Circadian rhythm
CLOCK — Part of the machinery that sets your natural daily rhythm.
CLOCK is one of the core genes that run your body's internal 24-hour timing — the rhythm behind when you feel alert, when you get sleepy, and when your metabolism is at its best. Common versions are linked with being more of a morning or an evening person, and with small differences in appetite and metabolism. The effect is real but modest, and your light, sleep and meal timing matter more day to day.
What it influences
The honest picture.
- A core gene in the body's 24-hour clock.
- Linked with morning vs evening leaning and meal timing.
- Its effect is modest — daily light and routine matter more.

What Indaga does with it
This is the heart of what Indaga does. It combines your CLOCK-related tendencies with your real Apple Watch sleep and heart-rate data to estimate your own body clock — then suggests when to wake, do hard work, train and eat. It does not diagnose a sleep disorder; it simply times your day around your own rhythm, and says "Unknown" wherever your data does not support a conclusion.
What you can do
Research supports steady wake times, morning daylight, and keeping big meals away from your biological night. Indaga times these to your own clock from your Watch data — as wellness support, not treatment.
The honest bit
Indaga annotates. It does not diagnose.
A gene result is context, not a verdict. Indaga uses CLOCKto annotate the timing and choices in your daily plan — never to predict or diagnose a disease, and never as a red or green health grade. If your DNA file does not cover this variant, you see “Unknown,” not a guess.
