The Circadian Code

When we eat may be as important as what we eat. Like most people, you probably wake up, get hungry for meals, and doze off in bed around the same time every day. If you’ve ever experienced jet lag or pulled an all-nighter, you know that this schedule can easily be thrown off kilter. But for some people, that imbalance—difficulty sleeping at night, hunger at odd times, or sudden fatigue at noon—is a constant thing. If you're one of those people, Dr. Satchin Panda has a plan to reset your body clock through lifestyle changes: an in-depth explanation of the circadian clock (why it’s important), how it works, and how to know if it isn’t working; suggestions on exercise and sunlight exposure; guidelines around food intake; recommendations regarding when to eat meals, when to fast between meals, and when to take supplements; guidance on things like taking naps (yes!) and sleeping with electronic devices (no!).
