Dr. Kim on 'biological clock'

사람의 생체시계는 눈 바로 뒷부분, 뇌의 중앙 하단에 있는 ‘시신경 교차상핵’이라는 곳에 있는데 시침과 분침이 찰칵찰칵 돌아가고 있다. 생체시계는 크게 3부분으로 구성돼 있다. 24시간마다 켜지는 ‘24시간용 스톱워치’, 지금이 낮인지 밤인지를 알려주는 ‘바깥시간 확인 장치’, 그리고 지금 시간에 장기는 뭘 해야 할지 온몸에 알려주는 신호 호르몬을 만드는 ‘신호 송신장치’다

It's Monday, and I'm sure many of our viewers living in Korea weren't all that thrilled to start another week with the heatwave going strong.
And those of you who have just returned from summer vacation, may be going through an especially tough time trying to readjust to your daily routine.
Now to give us some tips on how to recover your changed biorhythms, we're joined by Dr. Kim Eun-ki , professor of biological engineering at Inha University.
Welcome.

So I hear we all have a so-called 'biological clock' in us. How does this clock work?



People have different lifestyles. Some of us are night owls, some of us are morning people.
How does the difference occur?

What kinds of symptoms do we experience when something goes wrong with our biological clock?

Before you go Dr. Kim, could you give us some tips on how to recover quickly from abrupt changes in our biorhythm?

Thank you, Dr. Kim.
