Think better in the afternoon? Sleep better in the winter? Suffer jet lag? That’s because you have not one but several internal clocks, or brain cells controlling the timing of your behavior. In this show, host Dr. Fred Goodwin explores the mysterious phenomenon of “body clocks.” Ardyce Asire, a retired medical researcher who has lived with Seasonal Affective Disorder for more than 50 years, tells us how she copes. Businessman Bill Mumar recalls being jet lagged on almost every continent. And John Roach tells us how he balances his jobs as a New York City doorman and stand-up comic. Dr. Goodwin interviews Dr. Thomas Wehr, a pioneer in body clock studies, to find out more about how body clocks work. Dr. Norman Rosenthal, who helped discover Seasonal Affective Disorder, briefs us on the latest treatments. Dr. Michael Smolensky links body clocks to some of our most common health problems, including heart disease, cancer, and asthma. Dr. Frank Ochberg tells us about yet another body clock – one that can haunt people who survive traumatic events. Finally, our commentator John Hockenberry says, "Throw away your alarm clocks!" He's got something better – the Millennium 3000 Big Ben Body Chromolite Circadian Clock Adjuster. It keeps him so refreshed and awake that he never needs to sleep at all.
