As chronobiology has increased understanding of the role of timing and biological rhythms in physical and mental health, chronotypes have garnered a great deal of research interest during recent years. A number of studies have looked at the potential connections between chronotype and mental health, revealing a wealth of interesting results. Among those results is […]
Why It’s Important to Get Enough Deep Sleep
Although things are starting to change as modern science learns more about sleep, for the most part, sleep doesn’t truly get the respect it deserves, despite being an essential foundation of health and well-being. It’s not just the amount of sleep that matters, but also the quality of sleep; how well a person moves through […]
Sleep and Aging: Can Deep Sleep Keep You Young?
It is well established that deep sleep is essential to overall health and well-being, both short-term and long-term. During deep sleep, numerous health-preserving processes take place, including the flushing of toxins from the brain, the repair of tissues and immune system strengthening. According to University of California, Berkeley researchers, in addition to the connection between […]
Circadian Clocks in Muscle Govern Energy Efficiency and Response to Exercise
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 […]
Is Exercise in the Evening Better for Restful Sleep?
Strenuous exercise before bed has long been discouraged, but researchers at the University of Otago have found that short, light activities can lead to better sleep. Exercise in the Evening Promotes Sleep Quality In a world-first study published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine and funded by the Health Research Council, participants completed two […]
