Circadian Rhythms: Ultimately in Control
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing whether students who consciously choose early schedules for themselves might perform better than those waiting until much later in the day to begin their daily studies. The paper uses studies in the emerging field of chronobiology, which is devoted to the study of the circadian rhythms resident in all living organisms. There is not yet any empirical evidence linking academic performance to the circadian cycle, but there is ample evidence that even long-term shift workers adjust only psychologically, but not physiologically. As the field of chronobiology matures, it is reasonable to assume that the same link will be found between circadian rhythms and academic performance. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
