A fascinating journey through our circadian rhythms, sleep, and health, by a world-leading expert on circadian neuroscience
The routines of our modern lives and its technology are playing havoc with our body clocks, sleep patterns, and health. Foster explains how we can get back into rhythm and live healthier, sharper lives. Sleep and daily rhythms emerge from our genetics, physiology, behavior, and the environment. These rhythms are modified by how we act, how we interact with the environment, and how we progress from birth to old age. Foster empower readers to understand how their own body clock "ticks." -- adapted from jacket
