But with modern knowledge about natural patterns of sleep and waking — called circadian rhythms — it may be time to update that practice, he says.

Many of the body's processes follow a natural daily rhythm or so - called circadian clock, so there are certain times of the day when a person is most alert, when the heart is most efficient, and when the body prefers sleep.

Circadian rhythms associated with sleeping, waking, eating and the ebb and flow of bodily chemicals reflect a fundamental role for time in the way that living things relate to their environments.

Schrock: I'm sure that's been tried, but one of the new things they found is this specific tie between the circadian rhythm in our bodies and drug addiction and they found that it is actually through an epigenetic modification of the circadian rhythm; so our circadian rhythms are reset by these drugs; we actually crave them at certain times of day and that is contributing to the necessity to, you know, relapse and go back on drugs or to get that craving, you know, at a certain point.

A study of circadian rhythms has revealed that mice are more susceptible to infections at certain times of day.

Jet lag is known for its fatigue - inducing effects, most of which stem from a mismatch between a person's internal clock and the time zone he or she is in, something called «circadian misalignment.»

For example, it could help in the mornings when we need to be at peak alertness or in cases of jet lag when we change time zones abruptly and our circadian clocks get thrown off.
