Guest: Patricia Lakin-Thomas, York University professor

It is time to spring forward! Daylight Saving Time begins this weekend. Clocks shifting ahead an hour on Sunday not only may make you feel a little tired, it’s a much bigger deal than you may think.  To some scientists, changing the time twice a year — which is not done in large parts of the world — is one of the world’s biggest experiments, and generally points to negative outcomes like an increase in heart attacks and traffic accidents. The problems don’t end there and thus, there are movements to abolish it. Today we speak to Patricia Lakin-Thomas, a York University biology professor who runs the Clock Lab.

The Earth Plane, the Geomancy, and our Bodies. What does your home environment say about you? Not just in Feng Shui, but also the cosmology of the Earth. 

Sharing the Body Clock - When does your Body Speak to you? The Energy Body and the Earth Plane, can assist us in balancing our inner and out rhythms. 

How do you know when it's time to wake up or go to sleep? More powerful than any alarm are your circadian rhythms. In this animation we take a look at how these rhythms work and what controls them; inspired by the TeenSleep project being carried out at the University to look at how later start times at school might affect achievement.
