Your body runs on a 24-hour clock controlled by genes like PER and CRY that regulate sleep, strength, and cell repair. School starts too early for night owls, and disrupted rhythms increase risk of obesity, diabetes, and dementia. Match your tasks to your peak hours using the law of 3T: know your chronotype, identify the task type, and time it right.
Ah, a breakthrough that has a far reaching impact. From boosting grades to even fighting cancer. The answer lies in decoding these facts. Heart attacks are likely to happen early mornings. More Olympic records are broken in the afternoon. Even my asthma peaks at dawn. Are we just puppets in the unseen hand of time?
Welcome to the magic of circadian rhythm. Our body clocks. They regulate all functions like alertness, strength, cell repair and dictate the best time for any activity. Our chronotype controls our sleep wake time. For example, larks wake up and sleep early and owls wake up and sleep late. Most teenagers are owls.
But school timings match larks.
Hence starting school an hour later has shown to improve grades. The master clock is a cluster of cells called the superchiasmatic nucleus or scn. It gets reset by light. Organs have clocks of their own. SCN is like their orchestra conductor. When they play in sync, it's perfect symphony.
But each time we have a late.
Night meal, unexpected food messes up the liver's rhythm.
Too much gadget light or too less daylight cacophony rains.
And with jet lag, say hello to absolute mayhem. Long term circadian dysfunction is disastrous leading to obesity, diabetes and dementia. Circadian rhythm is regulated by genes called purr and cry. Action starts with proteins BMAL and clock. They are key to activating purr and cry genes. MRNA moves to ribosomes where percry proteins are made. The kinase protein degrades percry but they gain immunity by pairing up. They enter the nucleus and inhibit bmaelin clock. This stops MRNA production. Hence no new percri are made. The last of percry decay freeing up BMAL and clock to activate percry genes again. This negative feedback loop of per and cry activation and inhibition powers the 24 hour clock.
Bullseye.
Timing is everything.
Even a child gets it. Hey, I'm not a child. Diseases also have their own circadian cycles. My grandma's arthritis flares up in the evening. Even cancer cells wax or wane through the day. That's why chemo given at the right time has shown to save lives. Bottom line, every prescription must come with a time of day stamp. Here is the breakthrough. I call it the law of 3T. Know your chronotype, lark, owl and so on. Identify the kind of task, analytical, creative and so forth and match with time.
There you go.
Peak performance guaranteed. Thank you for watching.
