Cells with a functioning molecular clock are better able to adapt to changes in glucose supply and recover more quickly from long-term malnutrition, as shown in a study published in eLife. This discovery helps explain why changes in the body’s circadian rhythm-such as night work and jet lag-can increase the risk of metabolic diseases such […]
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 […]
Getting a full night’s sleep may play a bigger role in life expectancy than many people realize. New research from Oregon Health & Science University suggests that regular sleep deprivation is associated with shorter life spans. The results were published in the journal SLEEP Advances. Nationwide Data Shows Patterns Across the US To reach their […]
Most people are familiar with the advice to “sleep on it” when faced with difficult decisions. New research suggests that this advice may have scientific merit. While many people report having had breakthrough ideas in their dreams, researchers have had difficulty studying this phenomenon because dreams are difficult to control in a laboratory setting. A […]
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 […]
