Thread: Bio2Real Time, a free iPhone app coming soon

Good question. The graph is there for comparison. This app does not require a headband, nor does it require contact with the body.

it works under a simple assumption: the functions of the body are the functions of the biological time, which is dependent upon the day length. It's a necessary simplification. The day length changes over the course of the years, and *all* life except for humans are using the sunrise/sunset to control their own biological cycles. This is why the app provides times to go to bed that are supposed to be consistent with what the biological clock .

The real time clock stays more or less consistent (+/- daylight savings time). The major TV shows are shown at the same time. you go to work and get off work at the same times. Well, this does not work with the biological clock, because the biological changes it's phase over the course of the year in response to the daylight cycle shortening or lengthening. This is called entrainment, where one signal follows another one. So one month you may be perfectly in tune with when you are supposed to go to sleep. The next month you may be 30 minutes out of phase, affecting your memory and dream recall.

The lucid dreaming app would take this to a whole new level. Consider Bio2Real time an introduction to the subject. I will try to explain it better.

For example August is a power month for me for lucid dreaming and dream recall, I noticed that over the years. Even if I don't practice, I'm still much better at lucid dreaming. This may be explained in part by the phase difference in minutes between the real time clock and the biological clock. Maybe I can make a plot of this to try to illustrate the concept.

The real issue that I'm running into is that the human circadian cycle, and as a result the wake/dream states during the night are most likely dependent upon the biological clock cycle. It is probably as complex as the picture at the end of this post.

he real equation which controls the awareness at night might look something like this: How am I ever going to explain something like this to the general public?
