contains a symphony of tiny timepieces synchronised to the sun and subtle signals in your
environment and behaviour. But modern insults like artificial light contrived time zones and
late-night meals can wreak havoc on your internal clocks. Armed with advances in biology and
technology a circadian renaissance is reclaiming those lost rhythms. The Inner Clock explores

doctors prescribing treatments at specific times of day? And how might a better understanding
of our circadian rhythms improve educational outcomes optimise sports performance and support
