A study analyzing data from more than 13 million hours of light sensor data collected from 89,000 people has found that exposure to light nights and dark days is associated with an increased risk of mortality. Bright light at night disrupts the body’s normal day-night cycle, known as the circadian rhythm, and can lead to […]
Treatment for anxiety, depression and other disorders may depend on the amygdala, a part of the brain that controls strong emotional responses, particularly fear. Until now, however, there has been a lack of in-depth understanding of this structure. Now, scientists at the University of California, Davis, have identified new cell clusters with distinct gene expression […]
A world-first randomized controlled trial (RCT) of young children’s screen time shows that reducing screen time in the hour before bedtime improves the quality of young children’s sleep. Screen Use in Young Children It is well established that poor sleep in early childhood is associated with negative outcomes such as health problems, developmental difficulties and […]
Using circadian lighting, in which artificial lighting is synchronized with natural biological rhythms or a person’s “internal clock,” significantly improves the sleep quality and work performance of night shift workers, a large new study has found. The study is among the first rigorous laboratory experiments to simultaneously examine the effects of circadian lighting on markers […]
Getting enough sleep is especially important for children, as it promotes growth and development. Children who suffer from chronic sleep deprivation from an early age may be more likely to suffer health problems and may even be at increased risk of developing psychosis in early adulthood, new research shows. Researchers at the University of Birmingham […]
