Reverse time

Another unique feature of the circadian clock is that it could provide non-pharmacologic treatment options: without developing drug, personal body clock profiles can be used to enhance health and even reduce drug consumption. Potential applications would include increment of productivity of working and/or learning based on individual chronotypes such as propensity for morning versus evening and optimal duration of sleep. In an aging society, it will be also important to develop “successful aging” protocol by taking advantage of the circadian clock as a low-cost health maintenance time-keeper. It’s time to take time seriously.
