Brain use a mechanism of looking clock to know the current time.
Say for example
Us: thinking what time it is?
Brain: come lets look the clock.
Us: walking and looking at the clock.
Brain: current time is 01: 30 PM(by looking the numbers and needle in the clock)
Us: understanding the time
Both the brain and us happy. This is a happy ending story.

Our body also has a specific time for the amount of sleep/wake up we need. I think that's the reason why many people wake up/sleep in different hours in a day. Just like me, I always woke up around every 0500, but I feel very sleepy every 1100 so I sleep until 1300 and then ate my lunch.

He didnt talk about Pineal gland which secreats Malatonin and pineal gland is responsible to keep track for time, which is another dimension of space apart from 3D-Space. Abilities of Pineal gland is more then, understood or shown, weather to connect us to higher dimensions etc.

The first cave experiment demonstrating the circadian rhythm had actually been conducted by sleep researcher Nethaniel Kleitman back in 1938. He stayed in cave Mammoth, together with one colleague, for 32 days. Kleitman is largely considered the first sleep researcher.

Hey Ted, I can't fall asleep until I watch Ted ed video or Vsauce video. I never realise when I do while these videos are still running. Everytime before the video finishes. Its a new kind of drug for me. Can you please explain this? Should I see a doctor?

Me: sleeps at 0: 05 on a Saturday, knowing well I can sleep for whatever long I want because I don't have to wake up for school
My brain at 8am: wakes me up and makes me unable to sleep, making me have to wait 2 hours for everyone else to wake up

I always go to get tea at 10: 30, or around that time every night. Around that time I always get a craving for a cup of tea. I do this so often my family thinks I have an alarm set.

But what about seasonal rhythms? You said our brain keeps track of time like a stopwatch, clock, and callander, but only explained the first two
