HOW WE GET UP EARLY IN THE MORNING?
27 July 2008Various changes occur in the body day and night.These changes are cyclical and occur periodically.This diurnal changes occurring periodically is called " Circadian rhythm ". Thus there is a biological clock in our body. The aim of the technique of how to get up in the morning is to set an alarm in this biological clock.It has been found that these rhythmic changes are controlled by a centre called Suprachiasmatic nuclei in hypothalamus ( in brain).
This centre secretes a hormone called ACTH (Adreno Cortico Trophic Hormone) Whose levels in the body fluctuates during day and night but its maximum and minimum levels occurs periodically in a fixed manner in 24 hrs cycle. That is, its level is minimum at midnight (i.e. during deep sleep ) and maximum just before awakening. When there is increase in the level of ACTH it acts on Adrenal gland and cause increase in secretion of epinephrine & nor epinephrine (sympathetic discharge). One of the effects of this mass sympathetic discharge is reinforcement of alert, attentive state necessary for effective action causing awakening.
By practising the technique for the first 7 days. WE are allowing the raise in level of ACTH to occur early in the morning. On 8th day, even if we do not practise the technique, the raise level of ACTH occurs in the morning automatically, and we rise early.
