The rhythm has a free-running, it is also denoted by the Greek letter τ (tau). This period lasts approximately 24 hours. Few animals diurnal(active during day( has τ (tau) is slightly greater than 24hr & for few animals (nocturnal, active at night) τ (tau) < 24hours.
The rhythm is directly proportional to external stimuli (such as light and heat). One can rest or entrain it, example: When we travel in a different time zone and feel jet-lagged.
