“These interlocking feedback loops generate rhythmic transcription cycles to control sleep-wake and eating-fasting cycles by driving the expression of thousands of target genes. Many of these genes that follow rhythmic patterns are involved in metabolism and can directly interact with the core clock genes to coordinate metabolic programs.”

“Other lifestyle factors Sleep loss reduces the length of telomeres and increases cellular senescence. Related topics and episodes Topic articles Epigenetic clocks are predictors of biological age based on alterations in an individual's DNA methylation profile.”

“Researchers collected information about the participants' dietary intake and whether they engaged in any of five healthy lifestyle behaviors: never smoking, getting optimal sleep, engaging in vigorous physical activity, eating a quality diet, and moderating their alcohol intake.”

“[...] "I was fascinated to see similarities between the pattern of brain activity in a psychedelic state and the pattern of brain activity during dream sleep, especially as both involve the primitive areas of the brain linked to emotions and memory.”

“Over 15% of the human encoding genome is regulated by the sleep-wake cycle! Everything from metabolism, the immune system, and brain function depend on sleep. You don't want to miss this video interview, loaded with extra, helpful annotations.”

“Crepuscular animals tend to sleep at night and nap or engage in low activity during the afternoon. Factors including food intake, limited bright light exposure, and sleep loss can intensify these low energy periods.”

“Introduction Light has profound and diverse effects on the human body, influencing sleep-wake cycles, circadian rhythmicity, mood, and immune function. In recent decades, scientists have begun exploiting the body's responses to light with photobiomodulation, a non-invasive, light-based therapeutic technique.”

“00:45:30 - How having insomnia differs from being a "night owl.". 00:53:44 - How cognitive behavioral therapy techniques like sleep restriction, muscle relaxation, and stimulus control can be used to treat insomnia.”

“Sleep enhances every system relevant to performance, including hormonal regulation, memory consolidation, neuromuscular coordination, tissue repair, and immune function. Sleep loss as small as 60–90 minutes can result in noticeable impairments in strength, reaction time, decision-making, and mental clarity.”

“Mood improvements were noticeable as early as after the first whole body hyperthermia session, with these gains predicting longer-term outcomes, unlike initial CBT responses. Additional benefits included reduced anxiety, better sleep, and fewer negative automatic thoughts, though cognitive flexibility improvements were not statistically significant.”
