To the tune of a different beat...

Circadian cycle...

The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) in the brain, also know as the master regulator biological clock, responds to daylight and nighttime. Since we humans are daylight creatures, our active transcription factors, (BMAL, clock, per, tim, etc.) are either at its height or depth depending on our own genetic makeup... I forget which way these things go.... Anyhoo, these factors are thought to either activate or inactivate various other internal organ clocks that are used to for food consumption and energy--namely those coming from the liver, the stomach and the colon... That is why you unload, then drink, then eat...

So, I guess congress is inadvertantly trying to make themselves "regular"???
