Biological Rhythms, Sleep, and Dreaming
View through CrossRef
This chapter explores daily rhythms, particularly focusing on the sleep-waking cycle, and the significance of such rhythms in regulating behavior and physiology. It begins with the case of Barry, a freshman whose excessive sleepiness and episodes of sudden paralysis triggered by emotional surges indicated a deeper issue. The chapter introduces the concept of circadian rhythms, which govern many biological functions on a roughly 24-hour cycle. Circadian rhythms influence a wide range of physiological processes, such as hormone levels and body temperature, which fluctuate regularly throughout the day. It discusses how animals, including humans, follow these daily rhythms, adapting to environmental cues and the internal biological clock.
