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 […]
Light at the End of the Tunnel for Night Shift Workers
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 […]
Is Poor Sleep Quality in Childhood Associated With a Higher Risk of Drug Use and Mental Disorders?
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 […]
Scientists Discover a Secret to Regulating Our Internal Clock And Offer a New Approach to Combating Jet Lag
Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the University of California, Santa Cruz, have discovered the secret of how our internal clock is regulated. They found that this regulator sits right at the back end of casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ), a protein that acts as a pacemaker for our internal biological clock or the natural […]
Can Circadian Disorders Accelerate the Progression of Colorectal Cancer?
A study by the University of California, Irvine, has shown how disruption of the circadian clock, the body’s own 24-hour biological pacemaker, can accelerate the progression of colorectal cancer by impairing the intestinal microbiome and intestinal barrier function. This discovery offers new opportunities for prevention and treatment strategies. The study, published in the journal Science […]
