A large, long-term study involving more than 87,000 adults provides surprising insights into the link between daylight and brain health. People who were exposed to more bright light during the day were less likely to develop dementia during the observation period. Particularly striking: even less than 42 minutes of bright daylight per day was associated […]A large, long-term study involving more than 87,000 adults provides surprising insights into the link between daylight and brain health.

Light, Wrist Temperature, and Metabolism: What Your Body Clock Might Reveal About Your Health
Our internal clock controls far more than just our sleep. It influences numerous biological processes that change throughout the day. A new study from October 2026 shows that the daily rhythms of light exposure and wrist temperature are also linked to markers of metabolic health. A particularly intriguing question is whether wearable sensors will help […]Our internal clock controls far more than just our sleep.

Do Spiders Dream? What Their Sleep Phases Might Reveal About Humans
They hunt skillfully, respond to their surroundings, and appear to enter a state at night that bears striking similarities to our sleep. Researchers have observed two distinct sleep phases in an Australian jumping spider—including a phase with rapid eye movements and muscle twitches reminiscent of human REM sleep. Whether the animals actually dream remains an […]They hunt skillfully, respond to their surroundings, and appear to enter a state at night that bears striking similarities to our sleep.

First, Let Your Bed Air Out: What’s Important for Sleep and Your Internal Clock in the Morning
No sooner has the alarm clock stopped ringing than, for many people, the morning routine begins: getting up, making the bed, showering, and brewing coffee. The bedroom should look tidy before the day really gets underway. But when it comes to making the bed, of all things, it might make sense to change the usual […]No sooner has the alarm clock stopped ringing than, for many people, the morning routine begins: getting up, making the bed, showering, and brewing coffee.

Alzheimer’s Research: How Overactive Immune Cells Rob Us of Sleep – And Why the Problem May Be Reversible
U.S. researchers were able to restore more than two hours of sleep per day in mice with Alzheimer’s-like changes. To do so, they did not need to remove the typical protein deposits in the brain or reduce their quantity. Instead, the intervention targeted overactive immune cells. The discovery could open up a new approach to […]U.S. researchers were able to restore more than two hours of sleep per day in mice with Alzheimer’s-like changes.
