You too, every now and then, before your alarm goes off as if he felt it would ring Do you open your eyes?

If so you’re not alone because many people experience this situation!

How is such a thing possible?

In 1997, researchers from Iowa and Minnesota conducted a telephone survey of people He wondered how many of them woke up before the alarm.

The results were striking: most respondents He noted that sometimes they wake up before their alarm. Some people didn’t even use an alarm to wake up!

Some survey respondents were invited to a laboratory for further research, and observations made showed that most respondents did so with only a 10 minute deviation from waking hours This showed that they were awake.

But how can our body adjust the timing so well?

Neurobiologist Dr. According to Ravi Allada, it is located in the brain and our body a ‘master clock’ called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which controls circadian rhythms It serves this function. This clock controls daily routines such as falling asleep at night and waking up in the morning.

In the process, our environment Light levels also play a very important role. Some special cells in our eyes can detect light changes before and during sunrise, even when our eyelids are closed.

This information helps our body as our waking time approaches. Helps biostimulate and triggers the secretion of hormones such as cortisol.

Let’s come to our last question: why, for example, do we suddenly get up before the alarm goes off when we have a plane to catch?

Dr. Allada explains that our bodies can change depending on how much time has passed since we went to bed and the situation. He states that it works almost like an hourglass.

However It’s worth noting that it doesn’t always work perfectly. Especially when we are very tired, the sleep our body needs can override the biological clock.

However, this phenomenon How well our body and brain work together in harmony Don’t you think this is a clear indication?
