Vnitřní čas člověka (2026)

This Czech-language book introduces the science of the human biological clock and explains how it can fundamentally transform sleep and health. Russell Foster guides readers through scientific findings on biological clocks, drawing on his own studies and the work of the international community of sleep researchers and biologists studying circadian rhythms. He illustrates how the time of day affects our health, including how evening walks can improve sleep, how eating after sunset affects body weight and how the timing of medication influences our lives. Modern life has neglected an essential part of our biology. We increasingly move routine activities into the night and work, exercise and socialise long after dark, forgetting that our bodies follow 24-hour biological clocks that guide us towards the best times for sleeping, eating and drinking. New scientific findings show that living out of sync with these biological clocks not only disrupts sleep but also makes us more vulnerable to infections, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and mental illness.
