Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person’s natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health. The circadian rhythm plays a central role in regulating cardiovascular and metabolic functions. Importantly, participants did not reduce their calorie intake. The focus was solely on adjusting meal times. The study found […]Researchers at Northwestern Medicine investigated whether adjusting the nighttime fasting period to a person's natural sleep-wake cycle could improve heart and metabolic health.

A New Drug Resets the Internal Clock and Shortens Recovery from Jet Lag by Almost Half
A research team led by scientists from several Japanese institutions has identified a compound called Mic-628 that directly influences the body’s internal clock. Experiments showed that Mic-628 specifically activates Per1, a core gene that helps regulate the daily biorhythm in mammals. Faster Recovery from Jet lag in Animal Experiments miR-628 (also known as miRNA-628) belongs […]A research team led by scientists from several Japanese institutions has identified a compound called Mic-628 that directly influences the body's internal clock.

Noise Machines Could Worsen Your Sleep
Pink noise is often used to help people fall asleep, but new research suggests that it may interfere with the most restorative stages of sleep. A study by the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, published in the journal Sleep, found that pink noise reduced REM sleep and disrupted overall recovery during […]Pink noise is often used to help people fall asleep, but new research suggests that it may interfere with the most restorative stages of sleep.

Late Bedtimes are Associated With a Higher Risk of Heart Disease
Middle-aged and older adults who tend to be more active in the evening have poorer cardiovascular health than those who are active earlier in the day. This association appears to be more pronounced in women, according to a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The findings suggest that the time […]Middle-aged and older adults who tend to be more active in the evening have poorer cardiovascular health than those who are active earlier in the day.

Your Brain Does Something Surprising When You’re Not Sleeping
Almost everyone knows this feeling. After a night of poor sleep, it is more difficult to concentrate. Your thoughts wander, your reaction times slow down, and your mental clarity diminishes, especially when you need to be most alert. New research from MIT sheds light on what happens in the brain during these brief lapses in […]Almost everyone knows this feeling. After a night of poor sleep, it is more difficult to concentrate.
