Biological clock
Biological clock is the term Chris uses to refer to his circadian rhythm (his sleeping pattern). Although this is technically not an incorrect use of the term, "biological clock" is more commonly used to describe the period of fertility in women, so Chris just sounds (even more) stupid when he yammers on about fixing his biological clock. One of Chris's reasons for needing a TRUE and HONEST sweetheart is to fix his biological clock. Chris's infatuation with Ivy can be traced to the fact that she vaguely helped Chris have a normal, set sleeping pattern.
He first explained his sleep habits in an edit on his Encyclopedia Dramatica article:
| “ | ==THE SODA JERK== YES, I drink A LOT of Soda from Coca-Cola to Pepsi to Powerade. I have a lot of stored caffeene [sic] in my energy supply, and not only kept me on my toes, but has also messed up my fucking biological clock as well. I sleep from fucking six AM to twelve- fucking-thirty. BIG REASON I need a Sweetheart, so she can help me back on track towards getting back to the morning hours that I used to have during my High School years. Fucking Adult Swim(tm) and random projects keep me up all night as well. |

He is oblivious to the fact that the real reason he used to sleep during the night in high school is that he used to actually have some reason to get up in the morning. Parents (and college students) know that it's common for school-children during the summer to get their sleep patterns messed up because they now can "stay up as late as they want". Since leaving PVCC Chris has had no job, no friends, and no life outside of mass debating and his Love Quest, allowing him ample free time to stay up all night drinking caffeine.
Chris's nocturnal habits during much of the 2000s appears to be the primary reason that "Attraction Time" during his Love Quest occurred in the mid-to-late afternoon.
