Biological Clock Day

Biological Clock Day is a worldwide holiday dedicated to the biological clock. Everyone has one, and it regulates sleep and wakefulness cycles. The holiday is celebrated every year on April 28.

History

The story of Biological Clock Day is devoid of details. In essence, the biological clock is a system of the body that allows a person to adjust to the change of day and night. One of its features is adaptability. As a result of changes in external conditions, after a certain period of time, it will start working differently. For example, such adaptivity manifests itself when moving to a different (very different from the past) time zone. In the beginning, the body’s perception of day and night will be difficult to tolerate. You will find it difficult to make yourself work during the day, because it used to be nighttime. However, over time, your body will adjust, and you will regain your normal sleep and wakefulness patterns.

Today, the workday is 8 hours long, which means that this time is mandatory for wakefulness. For people who work at night, we have to organize sleep in the daytime, and the wakefulness cycle is shifted to the night.

Thus, thanks to the biological clock, we can adjust to changing conditions around us.
