  sleep   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sleep occurs cyclically, roughly every 24 hours even though the average human inner body clock usually runs a 24.5-25.5 hour cycle.
A majority of sleep disorders which originate within the body (for example, insomnia, DSPS, ASPS) result from errors in synchronization of sleep with the body clock.
Free-running sleep can resolve the majority of synchronization-dependent sleep disorders, but usually cannot be employed due to the resulting loss of synchronization of sleep with the outside world (including day-night cycle).

 BBC NEWS | Health | Body clock constant throughout life
Scientists have calculated that the body's internal clock works on a cycle of 24 hours and 11 minutes.
Previous studies had concluded that the body, or circadian, clock worked on a 25-hour period that shortened with age.
In humans the circadian pacemaker is located deep within the brain's hypothalamus, in the suprachiasmatic nucleus, where it helps the body keep time.

One important finding is that "the clock, which we thought is only in the central part of the brain, actually is also present in the part of the brain that controls appetite," Bass said.
There already is a lot of evidence that when people ignore the signals of their body clock and deprive themselves of sleep -- for example, the student who crams all night before an exam or the worker on a night shift -- they can develop medical problems, Bass said.
The basics of body clocks are explained by the National Institute of Mental Health (www.nimh.nih.gov).

 Faulty body clock leads to obesity and diabetes
They discovered that the animals with the Clock mutation were unable to regulate their body weight in the presence of either diet.
The effect of the Clock mutation on body weight in animals fed a regular diet was similar in magnitude to the effect of a high-fat diet in normal mice.
When the Clock mutant animals were fed a high-fat diet, the combined effect of diet plus mutation led to the most severe alteration in body weight and changes in metabolism.

 Diet Review: The Body Clock Diet
The Body Clock Diet aims to keep you in sync with your body’s circadian or natural rhythms.
These are controlled by your in-built body clock and affect your sleeping patterns, metabolism, appetite and energy levels.
By eating regularly, timing your meals to suit your body clock and getting the right balance of nutrients at each meal, you’ll work with the chemical reactions in your body that help regulate and control feelings of hunger and fullness.

 The Jet Lag Calculator - Reset Your Bodyclock
Jetlag is actually caused by disruption of your 'body clock', a small cluster of brain cells that controls the timing of biological functions (circadian rhythms), including when you eat and sleep.
The body clock is designed for a regular rhythm of daylight and darkness, so it's thrown out of sync when it experiences daylight and darkness at the 'wrong' times in a new time zone.
The symptoms of jetlag often persist for days as the internal body clock slowly adjusts to the new time zone.

 Scotsman.com News - Sci-Tech - Scientists take time to develop artificial body clock
SCIENTISTS are trying to develop an artificial human body clock which would help combat sleeplessness, it was revealed today.
They are carrying out the tests in a laboratory setting rather than using humans, as their artificial device does not have its own body clock, giving the scientists complete control.
The study is part of a pan-European investigation into sleep disturbance, which is a growing problem in the EU where one in five employees now works shifts.

 A Surprise about Our Body Clock
The first gene known to control the internal clock of humans and other mammals works much differently than previously believed, according to a study by Utah and Michigan researchers.
Previous work had indicated that the tau mutation occurred in a gene called casein kinase 1 epsilon (CK1) and that the mutation caused an 85 percent loss of gene activity.

 Internal Body Clock Dictates Timing Of Different Types Of Stroke
ScienceDaily (Aug. 18, 2006) — The internal body clock, or circadian rhythm, seems to influence the timing of different types of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
Sleep lowers blood pressure in the body, so cuts the risk of stroke, but low blood pressure is a risk factor for cerebral infarction, say the authors.
