Our internal body clock is timed by weather and the seasons, a new British study has confirmed.
The study fronted by researchers from the University of Edinburgh used computers to simulate the working of the human body clock.
Circadian Rhythm Sleep Disorders - Types, Causes, Health risks, Diagnosis, Treatment, Prognosis
Circadian rhythm (also known as sleep/wake cycle or the body clock) is a biological process that follows an internal cycle of roughly 24 hours.
Circadian rhythm (also known as sleep/wake cycle or the body clock) is a biological process that follows an internal cycle of roughly 24 hours.
"Our study goes some way to explaining how and why these in-built rhythms have developed. We hope it will be useful in informing treatments for sleep disorders as well as helping scientists develop crops that can survive in the long term."

Temperature Does Not Alter Body Clock
Researchers at Dartmouth Medical School said that the 24-hour body clock remains unchanged with temperature.
