Description

'Light and its role on our internal body clocks'
The daily rotation and of the Earth on its axis and the yearly cycle of the Earth around the sun create periodic changes in the environment that are predictable. Biology has evolved methods of using these predictable changes in the environment to reduce energy expenditure and increase survival. Here we explore these biological rhythms; the importance of light and how light at night may disturb these rhythms.
