“We're filled with trillions of tiny timekeepers. Nearly every cell in your body has a clock,” explains Lynne Peeples. Peeples, author, speaker, and journalist covering science, health, and the environment, joins us to delve into all things circadian rhythms. From sleep timing and jet lag to the profound effects of light, we cover it all, plus: - The science of circadian rhythm (~2:00) - The optimal routine for your circadian rhythm (~3:45) - Lynne’s research experience in a war bunker (~6:05) - The need for natural light (~9:57) - The impact of different types of lighting (~11:45) - The role of location (~14:30) - Daylight savings (~15:35) - The history of alarm clocks (~16:55) - Tips for shift workers (~19:00) - 3 guidelines to optimize circadian rhythms (~22:15) - Sunflowers have an internal clock (~25:00) - Camping in Alaska (~27:00) - Genes and circadian rhythms (~28:45) - The future of circadian science (~33:10) - The importance of timing (~35:30) - How to measure your circadian rhythm (~36:53) - Jet lag (~39:54) - The most impactful practices (~45:00) - Inequality of optimizing circadian rhythms (~46:55) Referenced in the episode: - Follow Lynne online (https://www.instagram.com/lynne.peeples/) - Learn more about her work (https://lynnepeeples.com/) - Read her book (https://lynnepeeples.com/the-inner-clock/) We hope you enjoy this episode, and feel free to watch the full video on YouTube!
