A new analysis of the Canadian Study of Adolescent Behaviors suggests that adolescents and young adults who take pre-workout supplements—including products such as Bang!, Jack3D, and C4—are far more likely to suffer from extremely short sleep duration. The researchers examined data from more than 1,000 participants aged 16 to 30. The results showed that individuals […]
A drug called sulthiame could help people with obstructive sleep apnea breathe more easily at night and sleep better overall. The findings come from a European clinical trial in which the University of Gothenburg played a key role. Researchers say the results open up the possibility of drug treatment for patients who have difficulty tolerating […]
Many students have difficulty falling asleep early, which makes getting up for early classes a challenge. The reason for this lies in biology. During puberty, the body’s internal clock naturally shifts backward, meaning that teenagers feel more awake later in the evening than adults. Because of this shift, many teenagers cannot fall asleep early enough […]
A new study by researchers at the University of Surrey, the University of South Carolina, and Central Queensland University suggests that much of what we do every day is guided by habits rather than conscious decisions. Published in Psychology & Health, the study found that about two-thirds of daily behaviors are automatic, running on “autopilot” […]
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 […]
