It was already known that the natural circadian rhythm, our day is about 24.2 hours. And Harvard researchers report that the day can be artificially extended, for example, in one hour.
To prove this, the researchers drew twelve volunteers and sent them to the 65-day inpatient evaluation. First it was established circadian rhythm of an individual each volunteer, and then began a 30-day experiment.
In the evening, the subjects were subjected to "a fever of light pulses' for 45 minutes daily. And in the course of the experiments found that pulses of light at 100 units (suites) are able to extend the "biological" day, at least up to 25 hours.
Scientists report that the findings are important because they can be used to prepare astronauts for flight to other planets, which is not something that day - a year can last 10:00 . And of course, results will be useful for the treatment of sleep disorders.
Find out, by the way, why in 2005 it was decided to extend for a second, but a moment, on the contrary, to shorten the ten-fold.
