★Each and every function of our organism is conditioned by circadian rhythms. So in the 24-hour span of each day there’s always a «good» and a «bad» time for everything.

We all experience fluctuations in our abilities in the course of one day – in our focus, our ability to study, our memory, our performance in work and sports, our sleep and so forth. Some feel fresh and focused early in the morning, but are useless at night. Others are night-owls and turn into zombies every morning... But not many of us know that these fluctuations are actually based on scientific fact. The rhythms of each and every cell in all living organisms on Earth are coded in the DNA of their genes, and by rotating on its axis and thereby determining the alternation of light and darkness the Earth regulates the activities in our brains. It really is very much like a clock, or a super-precise deluxe watch. Except we don’t wear it on our wrist. It’s inside our brain.

A book for all curious minds, taking readers on a step-by-step journey into the fascinating world of biological rhythms and chronobiology.
