Circadian rhythms are a biological version of a computer/clock which are endogenous/exongenous. This means that they are generated from outside/within the body. Circadian rhythms are found inside most living cells, plants, animals and humans. Their origin dates back 3.5 billion years. Rhythms are a response to the most predictable condition of life on earth, cold/dark at night and light/hot in the day. One example of a circadian rhythm is the sleep-rest/wake cycle. use of daylight hours and It has evolved to promote the best rest/energy in the darkness when cell/mental reparation and personality/memory adjustment can be carried out for the next day. Daylight regulates the clock, and modern research has looked at the effect of bright/artificial light on humans and how far that may disrupt our sleep and health. Circadian means a full day/almost a day is a biological process which is driven by an internal oscillator which can persist and alter as the periodicity of light and dark change, i.e.as days get shorter in the winter/summer. 1 2 3 4 5 6 NOTE: This is a deep-dive into one example of an ultradian rhythm-THE SLEEP CYCLE- which will help with the later topic THE NATURE OF SLEEP and RESEARCH METHODS 2 DESIGNING AND REPORTING PSYCHOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 The Nature of Sleep This topic has already been introduced in biological rhythms in the learning of ultradian rhythms and sleep cycles including Dement and Kleitman’s pioneering research. Without using your notes see how much you can recall.
