Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine have developed a powerful AI tool based on the same transformer architecture used by large language models like ChatGPT to process an entire night of sleep. To date, it is one of the largest studies, analyzing 1,011,192 hours of sleep. The model, called the Patch-Foundational-Transformer for Sleep (PFTSleep), […]
Proteins are essential for body growth and muscle development. However, protein metabolism varies depending on the body’s internal biological clock. Therefore, it is important to know how distributing protein intake throughout the day affects muscles. Researchers have found that eating protein for breakfast increases muscle size and function in mice and humans, shedding light on […]
The body’s internal clock not only determines when we sleep, but also how quickly our muscles heal. A new study of mice by Northwestern Medicine, published in Science Advances, suggests that muscle injuries heal faster when they occur during the body’s natural waking hours. The findings could have implications for shift workers and also prove […]
Our eyes are usually closed when we sleep. However, a great deal of activity takes place under our closed eyelids: a team of researchers led by senior researchers Caroline Lustenberger, Sarah Meissner and Nicole Wenderoth from the Neuronal Movement Control Laboratory at ETH Zurich has observed that the size of the pupil fluctuates constantly during […]
Blue-enriched light can improve the sleep quality and daytime activity of older adults living at home, according to a new study from the University of Surrey. Researchers found that this type of light therapy led to more daytime activity, earlier bedtimes, more regular sleep patterns and improved sleep quality, offering a promising non-pharmacological approach to […]
