Your body clock: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the body clock?

The body clock is a natural 24-hour cycle that controls everything in the body, including your
energy, your sleep, and your health.

Q: How does the body clock work?

The body clock is sensitive to night. When your eyes see light, they send signals to your brain
and you feel awake. This is why we have energy during the day and start to feel tired when
it’s dark. So you shouldn’t look at electronic devices before bed because the light can stop
you going to sleep.
Q: How is a teenager’s body clock different?

The brain changes a lot between the ages of 12 and 20 and this affects your body clock.
Some scientists say that most teenagers don’t get enough morning light. They suggest that
teenagers should use the morning break at school to go outside or look out of the window.

Q: How much sleep do teenagers need?

Sleep is very important. Without it, we can get stressed, tired and ill. Teenagers need around
nine hours a night but most don’t get enough sleep. Because of changes in the brain, it is
natural for teenagers to go to bed later and sleep in the morning. This is why teenagers find
it difficult to get up early.

Q: What is the best time of day for exercise?

Our heart and muscles work better at different times of the day. Scientists found that the
best time to work out is in the morning or at 5 pm in the afternoon. You shouldn’t exercise
just before bed, because this is when it’s important to relax and prepare for sleep. But
experts say that the most important thing is everyone ought to have a balanced diet and
take regular exercise.
