Study Shows Impact of Sunlight on Circadian Rhythms
Science journalist Lynne Peeples conducted an experiment living in an underground bunker for 10 days with no exposure to sunlight or clocks. The experiment revealed how sensitive the body’s circadian rhythms are to light. Peeples experienced brain fog, clumsiness, and a lack of coordination, with data showing her heart rate and temperature rhythms becoming misaligned. She emphasizes the importance of daylight in synchronizing our body’s internal clocks, affecting both mental and physical health.
