It is usually 24 but it must be 25!
Not the number of notifications on you mobile but the hours in a day!
Many times you may have felt how you could simply sleep just for some time more or have just a little more time in the day!
How one more hour can solve many of your problems!
In fact when you calculate the circadian rhythm; it has been found that it is closer to 25 and not 24!
Regulation of circadian period in humans was thought to differ from that of other species, with the period of the activity rhythm reported to range from 13 to 65 hours (median 25.2 hours) and the period of the body temperature rhythm reported to average 25 hours in adulthood, and to shorten with age!
It can simply also mean that you are lazy and are not able to manage time well! Then again you can get support from Dr. Ellis Silver! I
His theory, outlined in his book Humans Are Not From Earth, posts that humans did not evolve alongside other life on Earth. Instead, he suggests humans were brought here by extraterrestrial beings between 60,000 and 200,000 years ago, either as a colonizing species or as exiles from a former “prison planet”. Silver, an ecologist, argues that human biology is poorly suited for Earth’s environment, citing several pieces of “evidence” to support his claims!
He cites several examples for this physiological and environmental “mismatches” between humans and Earth!
The prevalence of chronic back problems in humans is attributed to evolving on a planet with lower gravity! Back pain is the bane of every human at one time or the other!
Of course other examples are also there of the mismatch such as Humans’ vulnerability to sunburn and skin cancer, and their lack of a third eyelid for protection, suggests our physiology is not adapted to Earth’s sun!
He also says how the human reliance on cooked food is put forward as proof that we did not evolve to digest raw Earth food!
Chronic illness: Silver claims humans suffer from chronic illnesses and diseases far more than any other Earth species.
Finally he categorically states that our body is suited for a 25 hour day!
According to him our body clocks operate on a 25-hour cycle, which he argues points to an evolutionary history on a planet with longer days!
Dr Ellis would be surprised if one could find a single person who is 100 per cent healthy and not suffering from some perhaps hidden or unstated condition or disorder and this might be because our body clocks have evolved to expects a 25 hour day, as proven by sleep researchers!
So next time you are feeling tired and sleepy and running out of time; just think that you are in the wrong planet!
That may make you smile but if you want to laugh then maybe watch a Deven Varma comedy!
Shubh ratri…
