Do men have an internal clock like women?

Question

Women seem to have an internal clock to have certain aspects of their lives met by certain times. Do men have the same?

Answer 1

Yeah when to take a sh*t!

Answer 2

There are several regulatory "clocks" in all human beings whether male or female. The most well known is the 28.5 day cycle of women related to reproductive readiness. This is regulated by a complex interaction of glands and hormones in different areas of the body and brain. Men may also have a hormonal cycle similar in length to the lunar month but that finding is not universally agreed upon nor has a specific evolutionary purpose for such a cycle been proposed. There are some funny observations about this. The endocrinology of a man can exhibit this lunar cycle. When a woman moves in with a man her cycle slowly adjusts to agree with his hormonal cycle. It has been proposed that smell may be the channel by which this happens. When more than one woman lives together then the other women shift to match the dominant woman's cycle.

If you mean the "biological clock" that women hear ticking, that is the childbearing deadline of menapaus, when the reproductive readiness cycle in women ends. The timing of this is highly individual but in general happens somewhen around fifty years of age give or take a few years. It has been proposed that men have a similar change in their overall hormonal balance at about this time. It has also been suggested that this is the underlying basis of the "midlife crisis" among men. However, most men remain fertile to some degree for most of their life.

The real internal clocks are neurological circuits that count time and control daily functions. Everybody definitely has these clocks. These clocks regulate what are called "circadian rythms" -- rythms that take around (circa) a day (dia). The sleep-wake cycle is an example of a circadian rythm. This neurological mechanism is located in a particular section of the midbrain called the hypothalamus that is involved with a lot of our basic human drives. The specific area of the hypothalamus for sleep is called the "suprachiasmatic nucleus" or the "supraoptic nucleus." The end of the hypothalamus sits right above where the optic nerves from each eye cross; that intersection is called the optic chiasma. There are some nerves (neurons) that connect the optic chiasma and the supraoptic nucleus. Everyday, the first bright light we see at sunrise stimulates the circadian clock to begin counting time and after about eighteen hours the suprachiasmatic nucleus turns on our basic drive to get some sleep and we feel tired. We need the bright light because the clock is actually set for about twenty-five hours instead of twenty-four hours. Without getting up at sunrise and seeing bright light our body get off schedule. In fact, that clock runs even longer between ages sixteen and twenty-three years. So it is a biological thing that teenagers naturally stay up late and sleep late in the morning. It is very hard for them to adjust like older adults.

Answer 3

ALL humans have an internal body clock

It is regulated by the pineal gland in the brain using the hormone melatonin (which is now sometimes used to treat jet lag because in large doses it can reset the body clock).

Answer 4

Your strategies is a time gadget with 3 modes that administration each thing from on the spot projects like shifting to keeping long trains of thought and finally staying in synch with evening and day. that's what scientists say. yet they have not any clue how maximum of it works. focusing on the poorly understood midsection time zone, the place the strategies does a number of its maximum suitable artwork, researchers at Duke college summarize this recent thinking in a sparkling article in the magazine Nature comments Neuroscience. Scientists have long understood human and animal brains to be ruled partly with the aid of a circadian clock, which retains us in synch with evening and day. The rhythm of this 24-hour clock encourages evening sleep and helps many people to evoke with out help from a chicken. yet another clock is known to function on the millisecond point, controlling flow and speech, between different needed purposes that happen so with out postpone we don't in all risk think of approximately them. yet in between, there ought to be a 0.33 timekeeper of the strategies to assist each and all the needs that require seconds to minutes of interest. no person is particular approximately this, although.

Answer 5

I think they do, because I have noticed men at a certain age suddenly get interested in marriage. It's like a little timer goes off in their heads

Answer 6

Some men do, but it's really more of a personal preference for setting goals.

Answer 7

In my opinion men do have such clock.

Answer 8

Yes , They do..They are just like women...Some have the knack and some don't It all depends upon your genetic makeup...

Answer 9

Fewer men do!
