As the clocks changed last weekend, the Daily Mail published an article about the health impacts of these twice-yearly changes, including an interview with IEU's @meldelange.bsky.social www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...

Scientists call for the clock change to be DITCHED entirely
In the early hours of tomorrow morning the clocks will jump back an hour. But rather than celebrate having a lie-in, experts have warned it could have a slew of negative consequences.

Interesting article about the new sleep data just released by UK Biobank (& featuring some comments from yours truly!) www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/learn-more-a...

What the world’s largest sleep survey could reveal about health and disease
Almost 180,000 UK Biobank participants answered nearly 140 questions about their sleeping habits. The results could revolutionise treatments for sleep disorders and reveal how sleep keeps us healthy.
