Early birds and night owls are born, not made. Sleep patterns may be the most obvious manifestation of the highly individualized biological clocks we inherit, but these clocks also regulate bodily functions from digestion to hormone levels to cognition. Living at odds with our internal timepieces, Till Roenneberg shows, can make us chronically sleep deprived and more likely to smoke, gain weight, feel depressed, fall ill, and fail geometry. By understanding and respecting our internal time, we can live better. "Internal Time" combines storytelling with accessible science tutorials to explain how our internal clocks work - for example, why morning classes are so unpopular and why "lazy" adolescents are wise to avoid them. We learn why the constant twilight of our largely indoor lives makes us dependent on alarm clocks and tired, and why social demands and work schedules lead to a social jet lag that compromises our daily functioning. Many of the factors that make us early or late "chronotypes" are beyond our control, but that doesn't make us powerless. Roenneberg recommends that the best way to sync our internal time with our external environment and feel better is to get more sunlight. Such simple steps as cycling to work and eating breakfast outside may be the tickets to a good night's sleep, better overall health, and less grouchiness in the morning.

读后感
拿破仑有过一句名言：“男人睡六小时足矣，女人睡七小时足矣，傻瓜才会睡上八小时。”假若拿破仑与爱因斯坦能在同个时空有幸相逢，想来拿破仑会狠狠讥讽爱因斯坦，因为众所周知爱因斯坦总是要睡上十个小时才够，他宣称这样才能让自己有最佳的工作状态。千百年来，“少睡者勤奋...
评分戒烟也与生物钟有关，哈哈，这个有意思。书中介绍一般来说吸烟的理由一般是“为了提神”“舒缓压力”，当人们很疲乏，但是又不得不打起精神工作的时候，就会想吸上一口。由于生物钟的原因，人们在青少年时期时间类型会变晚，社会时差综合症的症状也最严重——因为我们不得不早...

The kind of book that make you feel like you are accomplishing something good with your time but really isn't offering much new knowledge.
评分The kind of book that make you feel like you are accomplishing something good with your time but really isn't offering much new knowledge.
评分驳斥了早起至上的myth.Only extreme early chronotypes find it easier to adjust travelling from west to east.书未提出缓解jetlag的方法及chronotype能否改变-这才是我最关心的
评分Quantitative and scientific thinking; tolerance; flexibility。 在昼夜颠倒的飞机/机场上看这本书真是应景呐~ 受用不尽！
