Twenty-Five Hour Clock, The

Synopsis: Examines the idea that there are clocks in the human body which, left to themselves, would have people living a 25-hour day. Tampering with them could lead to illness or reduced fertility. Understanding body clocks helps to cure winter depression and warns of death rhythms in unborn babies, leads to medicines for reducing jet-lag, and lengthens the lives of some cancer patients.
