CONTROLLING YOUR CIRCADIAN RHYTHM


Many people have trouble matching a healthy sleep cycle with their daily schedule. Moving to a different time zone usually makes this problem even worse. Jet lag is one of the most notable adversities of high speed transportation. If you fly from one end of the United States to the other, then suddenly you have to shift your sleeping time by a few hours. Sleep disorders also impede much needed rest for millions of people. A drug, nicknamed “longdaysin”, has recently been discovered to slow down circadian rhythms in cells.

This intriguing effect has the potential to help countless people. With a dose of “longdaysin” your body would count seconds slower and think that a day was longer than twenty-four hours. Drugs that speed up or slow down our biological clocks will become invaluable tools for adjusting our sleep cycles. If you change shifts at work or travel to another time zone, then such drugs can make that transition easier, as far as sleep is concerned. Circadian rhythms that are too fast or slow, making people sleep too often or seldom, could be adjusted by prescribed medication to allow a normal lifestyle.
