Chronobiologia
Rytm dobowy człowieka
Chronobiologia (gr. χρόvoς ‘czas’) – dział biologii, zajmujący się badaniem rytmów biologicznych, czyli periodycznych (cyklicznych) zjawisk w organizmach, zachodzących pod wpływem czynników wewnętrznych (związanych z fizjologią) oraz zewnętrznych (np. pory roku, sekwencja światła i ciemności).

Overview of biological circadian clock in humans.
Biological clock affects the daily rhythm of many physiological processes. This diagram depicts the circadian patterns typical of someone who rises early in morning, eats lunch around noon, and sleeps at night (10 p.m.). Although circadian rhythms tend to be synchronized with cycles of light and dark, other factors - such as ambient temperature, meal times, stress and exercise - can influence the timing as well.
