Boring Facts About Why We Get Sleepy to Fall Asleep To

The individual neurons keep time through a molecular feedback loop involving a set of proteins known as clock proteins.
S
21:25speaker_4NARRATOR
The core clock genes include a gene called Clock, a gene called BMAL1, and two families of genes called Period and Cryptochrome.
S
21:36speaker_4NARRATOR
During the day, the Clock and BMAL1 proteins bind together and activate the Period and Cryptochrome genes, causing the cell to produce Period and Cryptochrome proteins.
S
21:50speaker_4NARRATOR
As these proteins accumulate, they eventually inhibit Clock and BMAL1, shutting down their own production.
S
21:59speaker_4NARRATOR
The Period and Cryptochrome proteins then gradually degrade over time, lifting the inhibition and allowing Clock and BMAL1 to start the cycle again.
S
22:11speaker_4NARRATOR
This entire molecular loop takes approximately twenty-four hours to complete, which is why it is called a circadian rhythm, from the Latin words circa meaning about and dies meaning day.
S
22:26speaker_4NARRATOR
Without any external time cues, such as sunlight or alarm clocks, the human circadian clock runs on a cycle that is slightly longer than twenty-four hours, typically around twenty-four hours and ten to twenty minutes.
