According to a recent study, sleep deprivation may affect your insulin sensitivity. Additionally, your blood sugar levels may also wreak havoc on your overall biological rhythms. Everyone on Earth has an internal clock that tells us when we should sleep and when we should wake. Known as the “circadian rhythm,” it is a biological and self-sustained […]According to a recent study, sleep deprivation may affect your insulin sensitivity.

Does Sleep Duration Matter When it Comes to Prostate Cancer?
Studies in chronobiology suggest that short sleep duration is a carcinogen. New research indicates that prostate cancer risk may be especially impacted. The World Health Organization and other major medical associations have long considered disruptions to the circadian rhythm a carcinogen—or cause—of cancer. Several different types of cancer have been linked to shift work, insomnia, short […]Studies in chronobiology suggest that short sleep duration is a carcinogen.

New Study Backs Chronopharmacology in Cancer Treatment
Timing is everything and nowhere more so than in circadian biology. The human body runs like clockwork when it is in good health, but these intricate rhythms can be disrupted by illness. In some illnesses, identifying these altered internal clocks can be a key to new and more effective treatment. Cancer is one of many […]Timing is everything and nowhere more so than in circadian biology.

Wonder Hormone Improves Outcomes in Cancer Patients
Cancer research has yielded many new and exciting treatments that improve outcomes by attacking the biochemical processes underlying this serious disease. While melatonin has been used as a treatment for insomnia and other sleep disorders for decades, it may also be a valuable treatment for cancer. New studies suggest that melatonin inhibits tumor growth while […]Cancer research has yielded many new and exciting treatments that improve outcomes by attacking the biochemical processes underlying this serious disease.

What is Chronotherapy?
Chronobiology has increasingly become an important area of medical research, with hundreds of studies pointing to the body’s internal clocks as a factor in both health and disease. Thousands of biochemical processes from sleep and wakefulness to DNA repair are scheduled and dictated by these internal clocks. Because our circadian rhythms are so important to […]Chronobiology has increasingly become an important area of medical research, with hundreds of studies pointing to the body's internal clocks as a factor in both health and disease.
