Declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, COVID-19 causes damage to tissues with the cytokine storm。 It even causes death in people who are fond of it。 In this case, the role of the immune system is vital。 In particular, the cycle of melatonin and 5-methoxytryptophol released from the pineal hormone ensures that immunity continues for 24 h。 While 5-MTX is active in sunlight, melatonin secretion increases in the dark at night。 5-MTX, like melatonin, has shown antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties in studies。 Therefore, people who are sick and those who are not must strictly comply with the 24-h circadian rhythm during this period。 We think that it is crucial in terms of being protected from the disease that we should carry out our activities according to the circadian rhythm。
