The understanding of the complex relationship between the circadian rhythm and cardiovascular disease has evolved over centuries of scientific observation and study. Rapid advancements during the 20th and 21st centuries helped scientists to pinpoint the biological and genetic mechanisms of the body’s clocks, all the way down to the molecular level, as well as those […]
Sleep and Autoimmune Disease: What’s the Connection?
Science has shown a definitive connection between quantity and quality of sleep and autoimmune disease prevalence. As scientists begin to learn more about some of the contributing factors of autoimmune disorders, it is becoming more clear that quality of sleep can greatly affect these health issues. In addition, those who suffer from autoimmune disorders also […]
New Research Confirms: Sleep Can’t Be Replaced by Rest
In today’s often fast-paced and demanding world, it’s fairly common among adults and children to not get enough sleep. All too often, we excuse the lack of sleep, saying to ourselves that we’ll make it up on the weekend or with a bit of rest later in the day. However, that’s not the best approach. […]
How You Can Help Your Circadian Rhythm Fight Disease
A recent study conducted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) researchers and published in Genome Research provides an intriguing view into the fundamental mechanics of immune system function. This study supports the idea that optimal immune function may be tightly connected to a healthy circadian rhythm and the sleep-wake cycle. According to the RPI researchers, circadian […]
Why Fragmented Sleep is Particularly Dangerous for Mothers
When sleep is routinely interrupted, or fragmented, the sleep cycle and circadian rhythm can be disrupted. This disruption is dangerous to overall health and well-being, in the long-term and the short-term. Poor sleep quality and circadian rhythm disruption are linked to a higher risk of a wide variety of diseases and chronic health conditions, as […]
