DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2016.12.041
Abstract: Reduced exposure to daytime sunlight and increased exposure to electrical lighting at night leads to late circadian and sleep timing [1-3]. We have previously shown that exposure to a natural summer 14 hr 40 min:9 hr 20 min light-dark… read more here.

Clocks in the Wild: Entrainment to Natural Light
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Frontiers in Physiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.00272
Abstract: Entrainment denotes a process of coordinating the internal circadian clock to external rhythmic time-cues (Zeitgeber), mainly light. It is facilitated by stronger Zeitgeber signals and smaller period differences between the internal clock and the external… read more here.
