✦ Synopsis

This paper summarizes in a nonmathematical way the major properties of coupled oscillators which relate to circadian rhythms. For certain values of the coupling strength it is far easier to maintain synchrony than to achieve it among the various interacting units. This property not only simulates the free run period lability but also the effects of critical pulses.
