The Clock With Thousand Hands. How the ‘Biological Clock’ Influences Your Life

Original title: De Klok met Duizend Wijzers

Synopsis

By ‘listening to our biological clock,’ we can perform better, feel better, sleep better, and maintain better long-term health.

“Your biological clock determines whether you are a morning person or a night owl, and thus when sleep comes most naturally to you and when you perform at your best. But there’s more, as the biological clock also has an opinion on the best time to eat. Both when you feel hungry and when your body processes food most efficiently are strongly influenced by your biological clock.”

This book explains the origin of the ‘master clock,’ how the healthy situation looks, and what disrupts it. Through various themes, the authors describe how the clock influences these behaviors, providing examples and tips for the reader to lead a healthier life.
