Info

Almost all physiological parameters associatedwith human beings are rhythmic. When theserhythms are disturbed for as little as 2 days ourclocks cannot send right messages to genes,disrupting the body and mind functions .[6] If thiscontinues for a few days, weeks or months, itmakes us prone to diseases.The Bunker ExperimentInorder to understand the presence ofbiological clock, Chronobiologists conductedexperiments were participants lived incomplete isolation in bunkers- where allpossible external cues for circadian rhythmwere blocked. The physiological functions ofparticipants were constantly monitored duringthis time.One of the popular bunker experiment [7]conducted in 1985 examined forty-twovolunteers who had been in isolation inbunkers, devoid of any Zeitgebers for periodsbetween a week and a month. The findingswere that, majority of the participants believedthat the experiment lasted 20–40 percent lesstime than it actually did. The sleep- wake cyclecontinued to be 1:2 i.e., though the perceiveddays at times were almost 1.5 times longer than24 hour days, during the perceived durationof a day, the participant spent 2/3 of the timeawake and 1/3 of the time asleep.The behavioural time shifted drastically inparticipants, but timing of physiologicalfunctions though slightly longer remainedclose to 24 hours, indicating the presence of aninternal clock regulating bodily functions evenin the complete absense of external cues.Circadian Rhythm DeviationSocial JetlagAccording to Chronobiologists, social jetlag isan important circadian marker for healthoutcomes. This a phenomenon everyone isprone to experience when they end upsleeping late because of external factors. Thiscould be when a mother stays up late to nurseher child or when someone stays up late withexposure to screen-light (also termeddigital jetlag). Social jetlag causes poorerhealth, worse mood, increased sleepiness andfatigue. Sleep regularity plays a significant rolein wellbeing.ChronotypeA chronotype is a behavioural manifestation ofunderlying circadian rhythms. At times thereare deviations in the circadian rhythm ofindividuals. Individuals tend to follow asleep- wake cycle late or early than the normalcircadian rhythm. It also tend to change withage. The causes and regulation of circadianrhythm is normally associated with geneenvironmentinteraction with exception of themost extreme and rigid chronotypes.
