Circadian Rhythms
Tomas Izquierdo has not slept since 1945. Due to an attack of encephalitis,
an inner brain inflammation, his ability to fall asleep was lost at the age of 13. Although he rests with his
eyes closed, his brain patterns are those of someone who is fully awake and aware. He has memory problems
and very sensitive eyes, but is otherwise completely normal. To relax, he usually uses transcendental meditation
from about three or four AM until the morning (Coleman 94).
Tomas Izquierdo is what one might call someone without circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are the daily sleep
patterns of humans. Circadian rhythms tell people when they are most alert, when they feel tired, and when they
should wake up. These circadian rhythms, while difficult to research, are important to many industries, as well as a
multitude of sleep disorder patients. For several years, scientists and doctors have been seeking a greater
understanding of these patterns through constant, difficult, and fast paced research.
