How the groundbreaking science of body clocks can help you sleep better, feel happier and improve your overall health
'The Inner Clock explores the strange new science of why your circadian rhythms fall out of sync - and how to get them back on track to live a happier, healthier life' JAMES NESTOR, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BREATH 'Secrets to better sleep . . . Crammed with facts, figures and fascinating scientific studies' SUNDAY TIMES
Every cell in your body has a clock, synchronised to the sun and subtle signals in your environment. But what happens when modern living - artificial light, late-night meals - throws these rhythms out of sync? The Inner Clock explores the emerging science of body clocks and its transformative applications - from the best time of day to take medication or go for a walk, to optimising performance at work and in sport.
'Peeples has new stories and surprises . . . You will find plenty of practical tips here on how to sneak an extra 'circadian snack' into your lives, reset your chronicity and live in a healthier, more timely manner' NEW SCIENTIST
