Спите как пещерный человек. Древняя мудрость, которая поможет улучшить ночной сон

Ритм вашей жизни

В XVIII веке французский астроном Жан-Жак де Меран доказал существование биологических часов, регулирующих ритм «день – ночь». Ученый поместил растение в шкаф и обнаружил, что даже в условиях отсутствия солнечного света оно каждый день раскрывало листья примерно в одно и то же время[72]. Позже исследователи установили, что многие организмы, включая животных и человека, имеют такие встроенные биологические часы.

Сегодня мы уже хорошо понимаем, как биологические часы влияют на нашу повседневную жизнь. Вы наверняка сталкивались с таким явлением: в течение рабочей недели вы каждый день встаете в семь утра. В пятницу ложитесь спать чуть позже и думаете: «Я хорошо высплюсь, поскольку можно проспать все утро». Увы! Вы просыпаетесь в семь утра и с трудом засыпаете снова. Знакомая картина? Это происходит под влиянием ваших биологических часов. О них многие слышали, но что это за механизм и где находится в организме?

Основной участок, который регулирует наш циркадный ритм, – супрахиазматическое ядро (СХЯ), его еще называют ведущим эндогенным генератором биологических ритмов. Эта структура расположена в части мозга, которая находится чуть выше места соединения зрительных нервов. Такое расположение не удивительно. Количество света, попадающего на сетчатку глаза, влияет на работу биологических часов.
