Rhythmic 24 hour variation of physiological function, in common with many other poorly understood problems, is subject to confusion in terminology. In this thesis the word "diurnal" will be used to describe events occurring during the course of a 24 hour period, not solely those occurring during the daytime. This is a concession to common usage in this field. "Nocturnal", on the other hand, will refer to events during the night; its equivalent adjective during the day will be "daytime", "matutinal", or "forenoon" and "afternoon”.
