Far more people work early shifts than night shifts, yet many suffer from severe fatigue associated with shift work disorder. This condition can impair concentration, work performance, and safety. A new clinical study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham found that the wake-promoting drug solriamfetol (Sunosi) helped early-shift workers stay more alert. The results […]
Deep sleep does far more than simply allow the body to rest – it activates a powerful, brain-controlled system that regulates growth hormone, thereby promoting muscle and bone strength, metabolism and even mental performance. Scientists have now decoded the neural circuits behind this process, uncovering a delicate feedback loop in which sleep stimulates the release […]
The feeling of having “slept well” doesn’t depend solely on how long you’ve slept. It also reflects how deeply and continuously you feel you’ve slept. Scientists still don’t fully understand what goes on in the brain to produce this sense of deep, restorative rest. A new study by researchers at the IMT School for Advanced […]
For many people, coffee is naturally part of their evening routine. However, current research shows that caffeine not only disrupts sleep on the surface but also interferes deeply with our body’s biological control mechanisms. Especially in the context of chronobiology, it becomes clear why drinking coffee late at night is more problematic than has long […]
For more than 100 years, scientists have been pursuing the idea of insulin in tablet form, often referred to as the “dream therapy” for diabetes. The challenge lay within the body itself. Enzymes in the digestive system break down the insulin before it can take effect, and the intestines lack a natural way to absorb […]
