Metabolism is one of the most important processes that occurs in the human body. Like all other life processes, it is deeply connected to internal clocks. Several recent studies on chronobiology and metabolism have found that the body’s 24-hour circadian rhythm affects a variety of metabolic processes, indicating that maintaining a healthy sleep-wake cycle maybe […]
The Real Battle of the Sexes: Sleep Differences Between Women and Men
More and more research is revealing that men and women are different in a variety of ways, aside from the obvious anatomical differences. According to several studies, the realm of sleep is no exception. Men and women have slight differences in their circadian rhythms that can have a huge impact on their daily routine. In […]
There are Multiple Clocks in our Body, but How do They Communicate?
How do our bodies keep time? According to new research, our individual organs and central clocks may work together through a process known as coupled oscillation. We often talk about the circadian rhythm as though it were one single timepiece. However, our internal clocks are much more complicated than this. In fact, every organ system […]
The Biological Clock Plays a Crucial Role in the Eating Habits of Teenagers Later in the Day
The causes of obesity are complex and influenced by many factors. While research has shown links between sleep, eating habits and weight gain, scientists are still unsure about the role of the circadian system – the biological clock – in shaping eating habits. However, a new study from researchers at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical […]
New Research Finds Weighted Blankets Influence Melatonin, Promote Sleep
Weighted blankets may be a valuable tool in the quest to improve sleep, a key element of optimal health. According to research recently published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Sleep Research, weighted blankets influence melatonin production. In their study, the Uppsala University researchers found that using a weighted blanket could yield an approximately 30 percent […]
