The connections between sleep quality and health — both physical and mental — are well established. The body of evidence supporting the role of sleep quality in immune system function continues to expand. A new study links sleep quality and COVID-19 recovery times for hospitalized patients. In short, better sleep quality was connected to earlier […]
The Circadian Rhythm and Cardiovascular Disease
The understanding of the complex relationship between the circadian rhythm and cardiovascular disease has evolved over centuries of scientific observation and study. Rapid advancements during the 20th and 21st centuries helped scientists to pinpoint the biological and genetic mechanisms of the body’s clocks, all the way down to the molecular level, as well as those […]
Sleep and Autoimmune Disease: What’s the Connection?
Science has shown a definitive connection between quantity and quality of sleep and autoimmune disease prevalence. As scientists begin to learn more about some of the contributing factors of autoimmune disorders, it is becoming more clear that quality of sleep can greatly affect these health issues. In addition, those who suffer from autoimmune disorders also […]
New Research Confirms: Sleep Can’t Be Replaced by Rest
In today’s often fast-paced and demanding world, it’s fairly common among adults and children to not get enough sleep. All too often, we excuse the lack of sleep, saying to ourselves that we’ll make it up on the weekend or with a bit of rest later in the day. However, that’s not the best approach. […]
How You Can Help Your Circadian Rhythm Fight Disease
A recent study conducted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) researchers and published in Genome Research provides an intriguing view into the fundamental mechanics of immune system function. This study supports the idea that optimal immune function may be tightly connected to a healthy circadian rhythm and the sleep-wake cycle. According to the RPI researchers, circadian […]
