The effects of sleep deprivation are a major field of chronobiology research. Sleep deprivation can lower the immune system, increase the risk of developing chronic disease and have a negative effect on neurological and cognitive function. However, a new study suggests that these effects may depend a great deal on the sleep-deprived person’s gender. What Happens […]
Los efectos de la privación de sueño son un campo importante de la investigación en cronobiología. La privación de sueño puede disminuir el sistema inmunitario, aumentar el riesgo de desarrollar enfermedades crónicas y tener un efecto negativo en la función neurológica y cognitiva. Sin embargo, un nuevo estudio sugiere que estos efectos pueden depender en […]
Since the invention of the snooze button in 1956, millions of people have opted on many mornings for just a few more minutes of sleep. However, researchers of chronobiology warn that this extra sleep may be an actual health hazard rather than the blessing it seems. The Endocrine System and Your Sleep Cycle Humans are […]
Desde la invención del botón “snooze” en 1956, millones de personas han optado muchas mañanas por dormir unos minutos más. Sin embargo, los investigadores de la cronobiología advierten de que este sueño extra puede ser un verdadero peligro para la salud y no la bendición que parece. El sistema endocrino y el ciclo del sueño […]
Maintaining a healthy circadian rhythm is essential to maintaining good health. Sleep disorders have been found to contribute to health problems ranging from fuzzy thinking to heart disease and obesity. Melatonin appears to be the missing link between disordered sleep and health problems, but the exact mechanism is still the subject of intensive research in […]
