A holistic view of the human biological clock, illustrating the peak times of selected biological variables, including genes (in black), physiology (best times appear in blue), pathology and disease (worst times are red), and treatment (chronotherapy show in green). The yin–yang symbol represents dynamic interactions of seemingly contrary forces in a coherent system. The sleep/wake cycle is the most obvious manifestation of circadian rhythms. The core clock genes are Bmal1, Clock, Cry1, Per1, and Per2. Hmgcr and Abcb1a2 are two circadian gene examples. ASPD, advanced sleep phase disorder; DSPD, delayed sleep phase disorder.
