Great news that the University of Arizona group has received a $3.8M NIH grant to explore how late‑night wakefulness affects cognition, emotion, and suicide risk through the Mind After Midnight framework. @alice-gregory.bsky.social @jakketamminen.bsky.social news.arizona.edu/news/new-38m...

New $3.8M NIH grant funds research on 'mind after midnight' as a suicide risk factor

Researchers in the Department of Psychiatry are studying the effects of being awake between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on decision-making.

As a sleep researcher in Minnesota, one of my joys is to find insects who fall asleep in their food on chilly evenings.

We're messing with the two systems that run sleep: Sleep Drive = hunger for sleep (driven by adenosine buildup) Circadian Rhythm = your 24-hour internal clock (driven by light/darkness) Coffee at 4pm + screens at 11pm = confused brain.

You’ve heard of a nappiccino…does a nap in the sunshine have a similar effect?

Did I enjoy this iced coffee and crush my afternoon work? Yes. Do I care to comment on last night’s sleep? No.

Definately my weirdest scientific idea yet: Can humans sleep one half of their brains at a time when they sleep in water, like dolphins do? Certainly no proof of that yet - but we have a method to maybe catch it. And, Yes, a human can fall asleep floating in a fluid. lnkd.in/gUHSRjug

🧠💤 Memory consolidation during sleep is metabolically tuned? Short-term fasting enhances hippocampal ripples, cortical spindles, and slow oscillations, and shifts slow oscillation–spindle phase-amplitude coupling—all without altering overall sleep architecture. 📄 academic.oup.com/sleep/advanc...

"Daylight saving time is akin to setting our body’s natural 24-hour clock ahead by an hour. It should come as no surprise, then, that many people will feel less alert in the morning immediately after the clocks shift ahead." Great read below! 👇 www.edweek.org/leadership/w...

Countless students arrive at school sleep-deprived. Health experts say daylight saving time adds to the problem.

No law can turn winter into summer. Daylight Saving Time forces early waking, chronically deprives sleep. Permanent Standard Time aligns clocks to circadian rhythms for health! #DitchDST #SaveStandardTime #SleepHealth #MAHA

Meme: Panel from a vintage comic book: Robin (the Boy Wonder) begins to say “I like Daylight Saving—”. Batman (the World’s Greatest Detective) slaps him with the good-sense reply “No, you like summer!”

You know it’s a Monday when you’re staring at a hypnogram thinking, “this is the strangest sleep I’ve ever seen” and then realize that someone scanned it in upside down.

Flabbergasted the LENGTHS people will go to for better sleep (and questionable substances they will pay good money for and ingest) yet won’t exercise or keep a regular schedule…
