Did you notice that when you need to wake up completely, do you do it without an alarm clock? The human body is not only able to wake up at the scheduled time, but it can calculate this time itself. There are cases when the "internal alarm clock" allowed them to wake up, for example, every day before dawn (that is, every day at different times).

The secret of this ability was discovered by specialists from the Salk Institute (California, USA). Instead of an alarm clock in our body there is a special gene that can "raise" the level of certain proteins "at the right time". As a result, a person wakes up.

The discovery of this mechanism allows one to explain and study many sleep disorders. In addition, the functioning of our biological clocks are linked mechanisms of development of cancer and diabetes. So the discovery will help in the development of new methods for their treatment.
