Si alguna vez has pasado la noche en vela o has tenido un recién nacido, sabes que dormir es importante. Sin sueño, las personas pierden la función cognitiva, corren un alto riesgo de sufrir accidentes mortales e incluso son más propensas a desarrollar enfermedades crónicas como el cáncer y las cardiopatías. Sin embargo, lo importante […]
Neurotoxins and Sleep: What is the Connection?
While people once believed that sleep was merely a period of inactivity and rest, modern studies in chronobiology have shown that sleep is important for a variety of biochemical processes. A recent study suggests that sleep is even more important than physicians and scientists previously thought, allowing the brain to flush out toxic chemicals that […]
Reverse Seasonal Affective Disorder: The Summertime Blues
Most people have heard of seasonal affective disorder, or the winter blues. However, some people experience similar symptoms in warm weather months. Researchers are investigating reverse seasonal affective disorder, or summertime depression, in more detail. New studies in chronobiology suggest that there is a very real biochemical basis for this common health problem. The Link […]
Trastorno afectivo estacional inverso: La tristeza del verano
La mayoría de la gente ha oído hablar del trastorno afectivo estacional o depresión invernal. Sin embargo, algunas personas experimentan síntomas similares en los meses cálidos. Los investigadores están estudiando con más detalle el trastorno afectivo estacional inverso, o depresión estival. Nuevos estudios en cronobiología sugieren que este problema de salud tan común tiene una […]
What is Chronotherapy?
Chronobiology has increasingly become an important area of medical research, with hundreds of studies pointing to the body’s internal clocks as a factor in both health and disease. Thousands of biochemical processes from sleep and wakefulness to DNA repair are scheduled and dictated by these internal clocks. Because our circadian rhythms are so important to […]
