Getting a little information about what happens to your body while you awake and asleep can teach you the importance of sleep and help you get to bed on time.
The human biological clock is what tells you when to sleep, wake up and when to eat. It controls you more than you realize.
Learning about it can help you in many ways as you will find out.
Making the assumption that you get to bed on time at around ten o clock. At round eight o clock your body releases a chemical called melatonin.
Melatonin is responsible for many things, but primarily it makes you sleep. By midnight your body should be asleep.
By two o clock your body is in the deepest stages of sleep. Staying up all night makes that deep sleep unlikely or will delay that deep sleep to an later time of the day.
By four thirty your body temperature is at its lowest. No wonder you wake up so cold in the early mornings. By six o clock you should be awake.
By six forty five you have the sharpest rise in your blood pressure. Melatonin secretion stops by seven forty five.
By eight forty five it can be explained why you often have the urge to go to the bathroom. The body normally commands bowel movements at this time.
By nine o clock the highest level of testosterone secretion has been reached and at then o clock you are very alert. This time should be taken advantage of in school if you need to study.
Study the most difficult material at this time and you will find the material comes a little easier. Your biological clock does not do much until two thirty.
By this time you have your best coordination and at three thirty you are at your fastest reaction time. Take advantage of sports or video games around this time and see just how true that is.
You will find that you have your greatest cardiovascular efficiency at five o clock. you will also find that you have the greatest muscle strength.
If someone you know came in for a visit from a different time zone you could consider arm wrestling them and see how well they manage.
At six thirty your blood pressure is at its highest and within thirty minutes of that time your body temperature will be at its highest. At this point you have finished your rotation around the biological clock.
This is what normally happens when you go to bed on time. Not going to bed on time throws of your bodies cycles and can cause a number of side effects.
Of these effects there are quite adverse health effects. Hormonal imbalance can cause a number of problems in your day and in the long run they make you age and place stress on the heart.
Help your biological clock tick on time by getting to bed early.
