The Circadian Rhythm and Sleep Our bodies are run by a circadian rhythm, an internal clock consisting of 24-hour cycles. This intuitive mechanism governs a variety of processes from sleep to the body’s metabolism. It is affected by environmental elements, such as sunlight and temperature. Scientists have also been studying the effects of the moon on […]
Confusión del ritmo circadiano y reajuste de nuestros relojes internos
El ritmo circadiano y el sueño Nuestro cuerpo se rige por un ritmo circadiano, un reloj interno que consta de ciclos de 24 horas. Este mecanismo intuitivo rige diversos procesos, desde el sueño hasta el metabolismo corporal. Se ve afectado por elementos ambientales, como la luz solar y la temperatura. Los científicos también han estudiado […]
Chronobiology and the Science of Time
Chronobiology refers to the process by which organisms time their behavior and physiology so that everything behaves rhythmically. In other words, it is biological timing. It is the rhythms of life; the internal clocks that control when you wake up, eat, digest your food and perform nearly every function that an organism is to perform. […]
La cronobiología y la ciencia del tiempo
La cronobiología se refiere al proceso por el cual los organismos cronometran su comportamiento y fisiología para que todo se comporte rítmicamente. En otras palabras, es el cronometraje biológico. Son los ritmos de la vida; los relojes internos que controlan cuándo uno se despierta, come, digiere los alimentos y realiza casi todas las funciones que […]
Chronobiology and How Our Internal Cycles Are Affected By External Factors
Chronobiology is an emerging area of study in the field of biology. It looks at how physical, mental and emotional cycles of humans and animals are affected and regulated by various natural rhythms, particularly those of the moon and sun. Sometimes called “circadian biology,” chronobiology is a multidisciplinary study that can touch on many elements […]
