Traveling to distant locations offers enriching experiences, but jet lag’s unpleasant symptoms can mar the journey. A new study used a theoretical model to explore…
A meta-analysis published in Neurology reveals strong links between cluster headaches, migraines, and the circadian system, which regulates internal body processes. The study emphasizes the…
Research indicates that getting insufficient light during the day leads to problems at night, when it’s time for bed. A study measuring the sleep patterns…
The circadian rhythm, or circadian cycle, is a natural, internal sleep-wake cycle dictated by a roughly 24-hour biological clock. The importance of getting enough shut-eye…
Scientists have uncovered an important molecular link between lung tumor growth and disrupted circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms, sometimes called the “biological clock,” is the cellular…
Syncing your circadian rhythm to a natural light-dark cycle could improve your health and well-being. Have you ever suffered from jet lag or struggled after…
According to new research published in Science Advances, both genetic and environmental disruption of the circadian clock can drive colorectal cancer progression. Research illustrates how…
