Researchers say that camping for a week can reset the biological clock that governs our sleeping patterns.

The scientists argue that modern life disrupts our sleep through exposure to electric light and reduced access to sunlight. But after spending time in the great outdoors, the researchers say the body clocks of eight volunteers synchronised with sunrise and sunset. The research has been published in the journal Current Biology. All life forms on earth have evolved biological rhythms that anticipate sunrise and sunset. Researchers have found that the widespread availability of electric lighting from the 1930s onwards has affected our internal circadian clocks, allowing us to stay up much later than evolution intended. The scientists in this study first analysed a small group of volunteers as they went about their normal lives, and recorded their exposure to natural and artificial light.

Medical researchers at the NHS Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge have proved that, by giving sufferers tiny amounts of peanut and steadily increasing doses, the body’s tolerance of peanuts can be vastly improved.

Out of 99 children who were given the new form of immunotherapy, 84 per cent of one group and 91 per cent of a second group could safely eat five peanuts a day after six months – 25 times what they would normally be able to tolerate and more than they would be likely to encounter in everyday foods. The finding, published in The Lancet medical journal today, and described as “a major step forward” by allergy charities, has the potential to transform the lives of thousands of sufferers.

It is the most common cause of fatal food allergy reactions and unlike many other child food allergies, usually persists into adulthood.
