Researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) are drawing attention to an important and preventable factor in cardiovascular disease. Their findings suggest that improving sleep could play a much greater role in heart health than many people realize. In a study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, scientists analyzed data from nearly […]Researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) are drawing attention to an important and preventable factor in cardiovascular disease.

To Improve Your Heart Health, You Should Stop Eating 3 Hours Before Going to Bed
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.
