Studies in chronobiology suggest that short sleep duration is a carcinogen. New research indicates that prostate cancer risk may be especially impacted. The World Health Organization and other major medical associations have long considered disruptions to the circadian rhythm a carcinogen—or cause—of cancer. Several different types of cancer have been linked to shift work, insomnia, short […]
Los estudios en cronobiología sugieren que la corta duración del sueño es cancerígena. Nuevas investigaciones indican que el riesgo de cáncer de próstata puede verse especialmente afectado. La Organización Mundial de la Salud y otras importantes asociaciones médicas considerandesde hace tiempo que las alteraciones del ritmo circadiano son un carcinógeno -ocausa- del cáncer. Varios tipos […]
The early bird may catch the worm, but a new study on chronotypes suggests that night owls are most intelligent. Almost all animals have some sort of circadian rhythm, or 24-hour biological clock. Nerve centers in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain perceive light, which cues the body to release hormones and undergo a variety […]
A quien madruga Dios le ayuda, pero un nuevo estudio sobre cronotipos sugiere que los búhos nocturnos son los más inteligentes. Casi todos los animales tienen algún tipo de ritmo circadiano, o reloj biológico de 24 horas. Los centros nerviosos del núcleo supraquiasmático del cerebro perciben la luz, lo que hace que el cuerpo libere […]
Doctors and medical researchers have long known that seasons can affect moods. Researchers in chronobiology have recently identified the actual cause. Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, affects a large number of people. Circadian biology research suggests that 4 to 6 percent of people have moderate to severe forms of this disease, while up to one out […]
