What is “biological whistle”?

biological clock

Ok, first of all I think you must know about biological clock, do you? Don’t you? Have you ever traveled between two countries in different time zones?
Hopefully you have and if there was a big difference between two time zones, could you get your sleep well, on the first night upon your arrival?
I hope you didn’t because otherwise I would have to find another example:).
Biological clock is the body’s time zone:). It is the clock for just getting adapted to your habits and your life style. If you wake up everyday at 11 o’clock in the morning, it will be hard for you to force yourself to wake up at 6 o’clock. Or if you always go to bed at midnight, it will be hard to switch off at 8 p.m. You have to be counting sheep after sheep over and over again for hours and probably you will still fall asleep at about midnight. Remember the first day after Christmas holidays how hard was it to be on time for work or school? So then what is the “Biological whistle”?
“Biological whistle” is one’s body alarm. Sometimes it is an alarm for our biological clock; sometimes it is an alarm for our emotions and our needs. Sometimes the alarm goes off under the right circumstances, sometimes in the wrong condition but whatever it is, it is completely related to what we feel and what we need.
Having lunch everyday at 2:00? What happens if you don’t eat? Your “Biological whistle” starts to alarm by making noise in your stomach and telling you that you are hungry, if you don’t listen, “Biological whistle” tunes up the alarm, telling everybody in the room that you are hungry:).
I am not a biology expert, actually even if you ask me where the heart is located, I would probably need time to find its right location in the body:), but here I am going to discuss matters related to the “Biological whistle”.
I understand that discussing something that I defined previously; the biological whistle, is possibly too boring. However I don’t have a choice here. This is part of a project for school; therefore I cannot discuss relationships, computers or anything interesting unless I find a relation between that and the ”Biological whistle”! Then think about it and if you have any idea you can share it here.
It is fun to make a new meaning for something. It is just like creating, art may after all be just creating meaning for some meaningless concept!
We are hopefully going to have lots of fun here, also a good exercise for our imagination. I hope so:).
PS. If you happen to be a biologist, I would really appreciate it if you could come up with a better definition for the biological whistle;) .

well, i kinda have a question, is it possible for one's biological whistle to stop working?? like you know, when you dont eat for a long time, you stop feeling hungry??
I personally believe that if you stop listening to your biological alarm, your biological clock changes
