Talk:Biological clock

To do

• get all references to his biological clock, including his description of when he sleeps (ask Ivy in Mumble and she can tell you a bit more about it, if I don't get to ask her first) and I do know in Mumble and in chats Chris has described what his sleeping pattern is like. --Champthom 12:11, 30 March 2009 (CEST)

Actually, he might not be far off.

Let's face it, Chris isn't getting any younger, and will most likely never dump his sperm in a woman. The older you get, the older your sperm get. If your sperm get too old (like Bob's), your kid will be at a higher risk for having some kind of mental disorder (like, I don't know, AUTISM?). Maybe incorporate some facts about the aging of sperm and its effect on the mental health of the baby, and point out how Chris will likely die a virgin (not that we need anyone to tell us that). Edit: http://autism-prevention.blogspot.com/2009/07/repeat-post-great-article.html Check this shit out. And yeah, I know this isn't what he meant. Just found it interesting. --DonnieDarko 22:23, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

On the useage of the word biological clock

Just a note, while the article does say its not an incorrect useage of the word to refer to the sleeping pattern, I think it may be a situation more to do with the local dialect. I don't think it'd be worth changing the page over it though.

For example, I live in the Midwest (Wisconsin to be exact), we always say biological clock to refer to sleep pattern. By contrast, we say period or the cycle usually to refer o women's fertility cycle.

• to point something out here... the term "biological clock" is NOT referring to a woman's period or cycle... it's referring to a woman's (usually women..not sure about men) body and when she is suppose to, or can, have children. When women say that they're "biological clock is ticking", it doesn't mean they are having their period... it means that the time that they can have children is slipping away. --4Macie 23:58, 5 February 2012 (PST)

• I live in Illinois, and I have never heard the term biological clock used to refer to sleep pattern. Is it commonplace in the South?--trombonista 22:46, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
  • Maybe its just a Wisconsin thing here then. As far as I know, I dunno if the South uses it. Then again, it all depends on what dialect he's grown up with. For example, I'm in Racine, WI, and we say goofy shit like using time as a distance measurement that even Milwaukee doesn't do, which is only about 45 mins from here. It may just be has a funky dialect. That, or he's been so isolated for so long that he's losing communicability. --IconOfEvi 15:55, 25 October 2010 (PDT)
    • I have never, ever, heard the term "biological clock" used to refer to anything but sleep patterns before or outside of this page. Ever. In fact, commenting on this was one of my main reasons for joining this wiki. I'm from Michigan. User:Nate-Kar Sonichu

SAD or DSPS?

There are a large percentage of people who suffer from SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder) which is caused by a lack of exposure to sunlight. Frequently SAD sufferers have sleep problems due to irregularities in their circadian rhythms which are not considered socially acceptable. This condition is known as DSPS(Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome) which results in irregular but rigid ,and seemingly unchangeable, sleep cycles. Exposure to sunlight usually cures these symptoms;however, given Chris's lifestyle of never leaving his room and playing video games all day, it is unlikely that he will actually regulate his "biological clock" to society's standards.--Mallardman 2:52, 6 February 2012 (PDT)
