Vnitřní čas člověka
Autor provede čtenáře vědeckými poznatky o biologických hodinách člověka. S využitím vlastních studií i poznatků mezinárodní komunity vědců zabývajících se spánkem a biologů studujících cirkadiánní rytmy, ilustruje vliv denní doby na naše zdraví: jak nám večerní procházky zajistí lepší spánek, jak jídlo po západu slunce ovlivňuje naši hmotnost i jaké účinky má na náš život doba užívání léků.
V moderní době jsme zanedbali zásadní součást naší biologie. Stále častěji přesouváme rutinní činnosti do nočních hodin a věnujeme se práci, cvičení a společenskému životu dlouho po setmění. Zapomněli jsme, že se naše těla se řídí 24 hodinovými biologickými hodinami, které nás vedou k nejlepšímu času na spaní, jídlo a pití. Nové vědecké poznatky dokázaly, že život mimo synchronizaci s těmito biologickými hodinami nejen narušuje spánek, ale činí nás i zranitelnějšími vůči infekcím, obezitě, cukrovce 2. typu, srdečním chorobám, rakovině a duševním onemocněním.
Life Time
In the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think.
In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health, including:
- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep
- how eating after sundown can affect our weight
- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokes
In the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.

But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. New science has proven that living out of sync with this clock is not only disrupting our sleep, but leaving us more vulnerable to infection, cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and mental illness.
