Features circadian rhythms； the regular bodily cycles that occur on a roughly 24…hour cycle。 Our
body temperature rises as morning approaches； peaks during the day； and descends before sleep。
The film suggests that our internal biological clock is as important as external stimuli to our
experiences and behavior。 The film includes footage on isolation experiments conducted to assess
specific circadian rhythms。 In a cave with no clock； one man unwittingly made his day longer than
24 hours and consistently stuck to it for a month。 A young woman isolated in a room of perpetual
daylight later discovered that she was living a day slightly shorter than 24 hours。 Although this
film is old； the topic discussed has not changed。
