About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Inner Clock by Lynne Peeples, read by Brittany Pressley.

How the groundbreaking science of body clocks can help you sleep better, feel happier and improve your overall health

'The Inner Clock explores the strange new science of why your circadian rhythms fall out of sync – and how to get them back on track to live a happier, healthier life' JAMES NESTOR, BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF BREATH

'Secrets to better sleep . . . Crammed with facts, figures and fascinating scientific studies' SUNDAY TIMES

Every cell in your body has a clock, synchronised to the sun and subtle signals in your environment. But what happens when modern living – artificial light, late-night meals – throws these rhythms out of sync? The Inner Clock explores the emerging science of body clocks and its transformative applications – from the best time of day to take medication or go for a walk, to optimising performance at work and in sport.

Critic reviews

I stayed up all night reading this book! . . . I enjoyed every minute (Mary Roach, bestselling author of FUZZ and STIFF)

'A fascinating exploration of the unseen and often overlooked forces that determine so much about our moods, behaviours and health. The Inner Clock paints an elaborate picture of the ways our physiology evolved to function in harmony with the rhythms of the world around us' (James Hamblin, author of CLEAN and IF OUR BODIES COULD TALK)

'Lynne Peeples takes us on a fascinating journey through the science of circadian rhythms, revealing how our bodies’ tiny timepieces shape every aspect of our lives. But she doesn’t stop with description. She also makes a powerful case for changing our ways – for reclaiming the natural rhythms that modern life has disrupted. The Inner Clock is captivating, perceptive, and, yes, timely' (Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of WHEN)

'A captivating exploration of light and dark, our peculiar biology, and the powerful, invisible rhythms of our waking and sleeping lives' (Deborah Blum, Pulitzer-prize winning author of THE POISON SQUAD)

All stars
Most relevant
The topic and key insights of this book are very interesting. However, the author wasted too much of the reader's time mentioning herself and her own experiences. The key information (including appropriate credit to the relevant scientists) could be conveyed more concisely in a much shorter book.

Interesting topic, should be more concise
