Sleep patterns may be the most  obvious manifestation of the highly individualized biological clocks we  inherit, but these clocks also regulate bodily functions from digestion  to hormone levels to cognition.

By understanding and respecting our internal  time, we can live better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eInternal Time\u003c\/i\u003e is a cautionary  tale—actually a series of 24 tales, not coincidentally.
