Sleeping and eating only when his body told him to, his goal was to discover how the natural rhythms of human life would be affected by living “beyond time.” Over the next decade, Siffre organized over a dozen other underground time isolation experiments, before he himself returned to a cave in Texas in 1972 for a six-month spell. His work helped found the field of human chronobiology.</span></p>http://eurydiceinthedark.tumblr.com/post/19323755786http://eurydiceinthedark.tumblr.com/post/19323755786Wed, 14 Mar 2012 21:05:33 -0500chronobiologycavesmichel siffretimeundergrounddark
