| Summary |
From the moment we are born to the last breath we take, our lives are governed by a series of clocks. The revealing documentary, Secret Life of Your Bodyclock gives you the ultimate guide to running like clockwork.Ticking away inside our bodies, every one of our major organs has its own individual timepiece. So want to lose a bit of weight? Or get pregnant? All you have to do is perfect your timing. Discover why babies are more likely to be born in the early hours of the morning. Could it be because it was advantageous for our vulnerable ancestors to give birth under cover of night? Is the teenager who can't get out of bed before noon lazy? Or is it because the transition from childhood to adolescence means that the sleep hormone melatonin is released later in the day? Find out why there are more heart attacks between 8.00am and 10.00am, why most Olympic records are broken in the late afternoon and why drinking between 6.00pm and 8.00pm is better than drinking at any other time of the day.
