All About Your Biological Clock

How your biological clock influences your mental and physical powers.

There is a rhythm of life, as the song goes, the seasons follow one another, the sun rises and sets every day, birds fly south in the winter, and we all grow old with time!

Human beings are exactly the same as the rest of nature. Our body and brain follow a definite rhythm. Because of this, thinking ability and mental capacity to remember and to concentrate are affected.

Scientists have discovered, that we have a biological clock. It is a timepiece, a clock, in the section of the brain that is called the hypothalamus.
Our nervous system is controlled through hormones by this area of the brain.


The experts are not really sure how this works. We do know that it is influenced by noise, our environment and a hormone called melatonin, otherwise known as the sleeping hormone.

One of the major factors that affect our biological clock is light, especially the sun. Because our eyes are light-sensitive, even a sudden bright light can produce certain chemicals in the body, and these chemicals regulate our biological clock daily.

There are certain time periods, it has been discovered, that are  peak times for various activities.

For example, between the hours of six -- 8 am. most men experience a high level of hormones, sex hormones, making this a good time for sex!

Between nine and 12 pm the human brain is in its best mode for making decisions.
Around 3 pm the body experiences, less sensitivity to pain.( That is probably a good time to visit the dentist if you need to!)

Between the hours of 1am-3am your mental and physical prowess are low and indicate that this is the best time for your body to sleep.
This is also a time when the majority of accidents happen in the house on the road, or in the shop or factory.

Having an awareness of your body's bio rhythm, will assist you in coping with stress.
Always schedule, intense mental activity when your brain and body are at peak time.
You will improve your memory and concentration, and keep yourself healthy mentally and physically, if you remember these points.

Dont forget to remember!
