** THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER ** A GUIDE TO USING THE SCIENCE OF
THE BODY CLOCK TO CREATE THE OPTIMUM PERSONAL ROUTINE: SLEEP
BETTER, WORK BETTER, FEEL BETTER. 'A superlative guide to some of
the most intriguing questions of human existence' - Bill Bryson,
author of The Body: A Guide for Occupants 'Who knew our body clocks
determined so much of our health, happiness, and lifespan? I
learned so much' - James Nestor, author of Breath In the
twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into
the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long
after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a
24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to
sleep, eat and think. In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares
his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey
through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as
well as insights from an international community of sleep
scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he
illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our
health, including: - how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better
night's sleep - how eating after sundown can affect our weight -
the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have
on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokes In the
modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology.
But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back
into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.
