Disturbance of the circadian system in shift work and its health impact
The various non-standard schedules required of shift workers force abrupt changes in the
timing of sleep and light-dark exposure. These changes result in disturbances of the …

[HTML][HTML] Timing of daily calorie loading affects appetite and hunger responses without changes in energy metabolism in healthy subjects with obesity
Morning loaded calorie intake in humans has been advocated as a dietary strategy to
improve weight loss. This is also supported by animal studies suggesting time of eating can …

Social jetlag and related risks for human health: a timely review
The term social jetlag is used to describe the discrepancy between biological time,
determined by our internal body clock, and social times, mainly dictated by social obligations …

Genome-wide association analyses of chronotype in 697,828 individuals provides insights into circadian rhythms
Being a morning person is a behavioural indicator of a person's underlying circadian rhythm.
Using genome-wide data from 697,828 UK Biobank and 23andMe participants we increase …

Chronotypes in the US–influence of age and sex
An individual's chronotype reflects how the circadian system embeds itself into the 24-h day
with rhythms in physiology, cognition and behavior occurring accordingly earlier or later. In …

COVID-19-mandated social restrictions unveil the impact of social time pressure on sleep and body clock
In humans, sleep regulation is tightly linked to social times that assign local time to events,
such as school, work, or meals. The impact of these social times, collectively—social time …
