“Researchers: Customize the work schedule for the circadian”
“do you Feel that the typical working hours of nine to five does not suit you? In this case, you now get the support of researchers, which means that you should adapt the schedule according to the individual’s circadian rhythm.”
“Some are morgonmänniskor, others are real comers. Our working hours should be adjusted accordingly, according to scientists at the University of Birmingham. Nine-to-five is simply not for everyone, writes Inverse.”
“In the study, which was published in the scientific journal Sleep, looked at brain function in relation to the person’s circadian rhythm. They examined a total of 38 people, and measured their melatonin and cortisol levels. The participants also got the actual respond on the time of day they felt most alert. The results showed that kvällsmänniskornas hormone levels peaked three to four hours later than the early risers.”
“– All know that some of us perform better in the morning and some love to work well into the night. But people do not usually think about why and how, ” says Elise Facer-Childs, who led the study, to the Inverse.”
“Want to see the individual working time”
“She sees several advantages with adapted working hours, after the circadian rhythm.”
” I think that, by counting individual differences on sleep and circadian rhythm, opens up a relatively untapped source. It would be able to get us to perform at their best, both physically and mentally, ” she says.”
“the Study also shows that night owls have worse concentration and reaction time than morgonmänniskor during the traditional working hours.”
“the Swedish researchers agree – partly.”
“Christian Benedict, sömnforskare at Uppsala university, says to Svenska Dagbladet that one should be careful when interpreting the results. He says that it may seem like kvällsmänniskor can’t perform at all during the daytime – which is not true. But to adjust the schedule after the individual is something he encourages.”
“– I agree absolutely with the conclusion of this study: that in order to streamline and optimize a person’s ability to leverage its physical and intellectual capacity to a higher degree, need to adjust working hours to the individual circadian rhythm, ” he says to the newspaper.”
