The circadian timing system (CTS) controls several critical molecular pathways for cancer
processes and treatment effects over the 24 hours, including drug metabolism, cell cycle …

Circadian rhythms act to optimise many aspects of our biology and thereby ensure that
physiological processes are occurring at the most appropriate time. The importance of this …

Electronic media use is prevalent among adolescent populations, as is the frequency of
sleeplessness. One mechanism proposed for technology affecting adolescents' sleep is the …

The deterioration of sleep in the older population is a prevalent feature that contributes to a
decrease in quality of life. Inappropriate entrainment of the circadian clock by light is …

Chronic circadian misalignment between the internal and environmental rhythms, which is
typically related to night-shift work and clock-gene variants, is associated with disruption of …

There is increasing awareness of the role of sleep disturbance as an important factor in
health and disease. Although sub-clinical sleep disturbances (insufficient sleep duration or …

Key points• Ageing is characterized by changes in circadian rhythms.• Reduced light
exposure or reduced responsiveness to light in older adults may contribute to age‐related …

Purpose: Shift work disrupts the synchronization between the human biological clock and
the environment. Sleep disturbances are common for shift work nurses, and may threaten …

Purpose Nocturnal voids are regulated by circadian biological rhythms, including decreased
urine production and increased bladder storage capacity at night. A previous experimental …

Background Bright light treatment is effective for seasonal affective disorder (SAD), although
the mechanisms of action are still unknown. We investigated whether transcranial bright light …
