Biological Rythm Research Group

The Biological Rhythm Research Group studies the natural cycles that regulate various body functions, such as sleep, wakefulness, hormone release, and body temperature. These rhythms, called circadian rhythms, typically follow a roughly 24-hour cycle and are influenced by factors like light and activity. The group's research aims to understand how these rhythms work, their impact on health, and how disruptions—like shift work or jet lag—can cause health issues. This knowledge helps develop strategies to optimize well-being, improve treatments, and better understand how our bodies align with the natural environment.
