And these clocks evolved to coordinate with each other and with the sun to help our bodies be primed to do the right things at the right time.

And these clocks evolved to coordinate with each other and with the sun to help our bodies be primed to do the right things at the right time.

And sure, one of those things is to go to bed and sleep at the right time and wake at an optimal time based on our pirouetting planet and the light and dark cycle and what, you know, we evolved, the times we evolved to be most alert and awake and take advantage of the light of the day. And circa in circadian means about or around. So that really tells us.

So our inner clocks did evolve to be to tick at around 24 hours, but they're not precise timekeepers. So we need that regular calibration from the environment, from the Earth's 24-hour cycle to keep them coordinated with each other. and with the sun so that they are primed to do those right things at the right times. And that is, again, so that's sleep-wake.

That's also digest food and metabolize food. It's perhaps the time that we're, you know, strongest and fastest to perhaps sprint away from our predator, if we're thinking evolutionarily, or the time that we should be set up our defenses stronger against invading pathogens. So our body can do all these things at all times across the entire day.

So we've sort of evolved with an allocation of resources across the clock.

Yeah, I can speak from experience. I mean, I think a good part of the motivation for me to write this book, I mean, somewhat subconsciously, is having grown up in Washington. Growing up with really what I felt was sort of this almost bipolar feeling throughout the year. You know, summer, it's so much light, so long throughout the day.

In the wintertime, I mean, the hours of daylight are really shrunk down. And I felt that effect. I felt, you know, in the wintertime, just... more depressed and down and less alert. And especially going to school in high school, it was before 730 that the first bell rang. And so I wouldn't see daylight before I got to school.
