While concepts associated with chronobiology have been with us for centuries, it is only with modern science that we’ve been able to truly see how biological rhythms come into play on a molecular level. As science is able to delve deeper into the study of biological rhythms and the significance of their timing, a wealth […]
Physical health, cognitive performance and mental well-being are deeply connected to sleep quality. Unfortunately, across age groups, many people routinely fall short in getting the sleep they need. That can have a serious impact on health, increasing the risk of numerous diseases, decreasing cognitive performance and heightening the risk of mood disorders. Practicing better sleep […]
In the world of medical science, naps can be a surprisingly controversial topic. For some health professionals, napping is thought to be a smart strategy for improving mental health, cognitive performance and more. Other medical researchers point to the variety of elevated health risks associated with frequent napping, suggesting the best course of action may […]
The field of chronobiology – the study of biological rhythms – has greatly expanded the understanding of the roles of rhythm and timing in the health and functioning of body and mind. Our complex bodily systems developed over time, evolving under the pattern of the skies: the cycle of day and night. Throughout the majority of […]
As blue light exposure has increased with the rise in use of LED lighting and electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and computers, so too have concerns about the potential health impacts of this specific type of light. Studies indicate that blue light exposure can impact melatonin production and sleep timing, affecting the circadian […]
