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.

Teenagers Sleep Longer and Perform Better When School Starts Later
Many students have difficulty falling asleep early, which makes getting up for early classes a challenge. The reason for this lies in biology. During puberty, the body’s internal clock naturally shifts backward, meaning that teenagers feel more awake later in the evening than adults. Because of this shift, many teenagers cannot fall asleep early enough […]Many students have difficulty falling asleep early, which makes getting up for early classes a challenge.

Scientists Say That Most of What You Do Every Day Happens Automatically
A new study by researchers at the University of Surrey, the University of South Carolina, and Central Queensland University suggests that much of what we do every day is guided by habits rather than conscious decisions. Published in Psychology & Health, the study found that about two-thirds of daily behaviors are automatic, running on “autopilot” […]A new study by researchers at the University of Surrey, the University of South Carolina, and Central Queensland University suggests that much of what we do every day is guided by habits rather than conscious decisions.

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.

Young Adults are Consuming Cannabis at Alarming Rates in Order to Sleep
New data from the University of Michigan’s annual panel study “Monitoring the Future” shows that the use of substances to promote sleep is widespread among young adults. The study, funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, found that 22% of Americans aged 19 to 30 reported using cannabis, alcohol, or both to help them […]New data from the University of Michigan's annual panel study “Monitoring the Future” shows that the use of substances to promote sleep is widespread among young adults.
