Just three decades old, the science of chronobiology is currently revolutionizing our understanding of the inner clocks and rhythmic cycles that govern our mind and body. This new science is discovering how our bodies are a symphony of thousands of overlapping cycles and schedules that affect everything from our physical strength to the times during the day when we feel most intellectually sharp, most sexually aroused, and least susceptible to pain. Scientists in this fascinating new field are just now unlocking secrets that will dramatically change our daily lives and our very conception of time. Although scientists have been perplexed by body clocks for centuries, the real breakthroughs are only now beginning to take hold. In fact, chronobiology now determines how doctors can schedule medications and surgeries, how factory managers can assign work hours, how business leaders can plan their travel, and how farmers can produce more crops. Like the animals and plants around us, we are tuned to the cycles of our planet. Time cycles, encoded into our cells, tell us when to sleep and wake, work and play. When we ignore them, we put both our health and our happiness at risk. The development of chronobiology represents a new era in our understanding of the universe. Like the discovery of the microscope, chronobiology is revolutionizing how we view ourselves and our world on every level. Inner Time explains both the development and the findings of this new field, showing how we can safely stay in touch with our inner rhythms and get the most from life.
