There is an increasing amount of interest in light therapy and especially in light therapy alarm clocks. Recent studies in chronobiology and human behavior have shown that simple exposure to the right type of light at the right times of day can affect mood, sleeping habits and even overall health. The Science Behind Light Therapy […]There is an increasing amount of interest in light therapy and especially in light therapy alarm clocks.

How Circadian Rhythms Determine Workout Success
Chronobiology is a somewhat obscure scientific specialization. In fact, most people have never even heard of it. Even so, for those of us looking to optimize physical performance, workout gains and so forth, it may just be the solution to many relevant questions and problems. Of course, the intersection of time and one’s own biological […]Chronobiology is a somewhat obscure scientific specialization. In fact, most people have never even heard of it.

Do You Have a Circadian Sleep Disorder?
Many of us have experienced the havoc resulting from a change in one’s circadian rhythm. Even healthy people have to occasionally change their sleep patterns thanks to daylight saving time or traveling. However, some people have circadian sleep disorders that prevent them from getting good sleep at normal times. These disorders may leave them feeling […]Many of us have experienced the havoc resulting from a change in one's circadian rhythm.

How Does Daylight Saving Time Affect Our Circadian Rhythm?
Sleep disturbances are surprisingly common in the Western world. Many people struggle to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and then spend their days exhausted. Modern research into chronobiology, or the science of our bodies’ internal clocks, suggests that a lack of sleep can even contribute to disease. In honor of Sleep Awareness Week, […]Sleep disturbances are surprisingly common in the Western world. Many people struggle to get to sleep at a reasonable hour and then spend their days exhausted.

Seasonal Affective Disorder: Sunlight and Your Circadian Rhythm
Our circadian rhythms, or internal clocks, control many vital biological processes such as sleep, cell cycles and even healing. However, new evidence suggests that circadian rhythms may also be a major player in seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder? Seasonal affective disorder is similar in symptoms to depression. In addition, sufferers […]Our circadian rhythms, or internal clocks, control many vital biological processes such as sleep, cell cycles and even healing.
