Wikipedia Trail

For this assignment, I started with the term sleep because there was a post about sleep deprivation on our twitter feed. I learned the actual definition of sleep and also what your body does during this process. I then went on to the circadian clock which I had never heard of before. This term is pretty much describing an internal clock that is a hypothetical phase. From there I went on to clicking entrainment which is the study of chronobiology. I had no idea what either term is so it just made sense to then move onto chronobiology, which is the field of biology that examines periodic phenomena in living organisms. I feel like a lot fo these two pages went over my head, but it was interesting to learn and get a small amount of information on all of these pages.
