Chronotype of South African adults is affected by solar entrainment.

Chronobiology international - 1 Jan 2016

Shawa Nyambura, Roden Laura Catherine

Abstract excerpt

Our daily lives are influenced by three different daily timers: the solar clock, our endogenous circadian clock and the societal clock. The way an individual's endogenous clock synchronises to the solar clock, through either advances or delays relative to sunrise and sunset, results in a phenomenon known as diurnal preference or chronotype. South Africa uses just one time zone, but in the most easterly regions of...
