These mechanisms haver been studied mainly through the rhythms circadianos, which generally have a rhythm of 24 hours and they are involved in processes so diverse and important as the breathing, the heart frequency, the fluctuatuions of the corporal temperature, of the arterial pressure, of the concentration of leukocytes in te blood, the synthesis of diverse hormones, the tolerance to the pain, to the alcohol, to the cold and even the most probable hour of being born and of dying naturally. These rhythms have importance in fields like the doctor, in the one which, not taking them into account can lead to diagnosis errors and therapy, especially in cases of inmunosupresion and in chemotherapy of the cancer. Possibly the cronofarmacologia and in general the determination of the patient's cronobiologìa will be so routine in the future, as the laboratory exams or the clinical history. Another recurrent process analyzed in the article is that of the dream. The man, especially in the modernity, for cultural requirements and technological readiness, helshe carries out activities that break the balance between their half internal one and the externa one, producing alterations in their rhythms circadianos and of the dream, with important repercussions in their state of health that you/they go from be "jet lag" of the travelers, until more important alterations in their physical and mental health and in their emotional state.
