We have what is called a circadian rhythm, which is what we refer to as a body clock

We usually let the sun tell us that dark = sleep so when we cut off light our body expects this state

This is why blue light from screens disrupts the rhythm, our bodies interpret the light as daylight and don’t go into sleep mode
