Sometimes, in order to get somewhere, we find ourselves saying, “I have to get up at this time.” We can condition ourselves to say this and we see that we woke up before the alarm. Really, how does our body know what time to wake up?
You too, from time to time, before your alarm as if he felt it would ring Do you pop your eyes open?
If so you are not alone because many people experience this situation!
So, how is such a thing possible?
In 1997, researchers from Iowa and Minnesota conducted a telephone survey of people He questioned how many of them woke up before the alarm.
The results were striking: Most of the respondents He noted that they sometimes wake up before their alarms. Some people didn’t even use an alarm to wake up!
Some of the survey respondents were invited to a laboratory for further examination, and the observations made showed that most of the respondents with just 10 minutes deviation from waking hours It showed that they were awake.
But how can our body adjust the timing so well?
Neurobiologist Dr. According to Ravi Allada, it is located in the brain and our body a ‘master clock’ called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which governs circadian rhythms It serves this function. This clock regulates daily routines such as falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning.
In the process, our environment Light levels also play a very important role. Some special cells in our eyes can detect light changes before and during dawn, even if our eyelids are closed.
This information helps our body as our waking time approaches. Helps biostimulate and triggers the secretion of hormones such as cortisol.
Let’s come to our last question: For example, why do we get up suddenly before the alarm when we have to catch a plane?
Dr. Allada explains that our bodies can change depending on how much time has passed since we went to bed and the situation, He states that it works almost like an hourglass.
However It’s worth noting that it doesn’t always work perfectly. Especially when we are very tired, the sleep our body needs can override its biological clock.
However, this phenomenon How well our body and brain work in harmony Don’t you think it’s a clear indication?
