This one in mice suggests that a daily feeding-fasting rhythm is a key input to liver and muscle clocks that enables synergy between the two tissues for control of glucose metabolism at the systemic level.
- Physiology is regulated by interconnected cell and tissue circadian clocks.
- Disruption of the rhythms generated by the concerted activity of these clocks is associated with metabolic disease.
In this one, an evening chronotype was associated with emotional eating in three diverse international cohorts.
- "Chronotype" describes the individual preference in sleep and wake timing.
An evening chronotype is usually described as a natural inclination toward later timing of eating patterns, sleep, and activity/work periods.
Daytime napping for >30 minutes increases the risk of atrial fibrillation
1. Some nap during daytime as a habit, whereas a few try to catch up on lost sleep at nights with some daytime napping.
However, there is some bad news for those napping >30 minutes during daytime.

2. In a recent study, compared to short daytime nappers(<30 min), those who snoozed for 30 minutes or more per day had a nearly doubled risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF).
Meanwhile, compared with short nappers; risk was not elevated in those who avoided #napping.

3. Further analysis was done based on the nap duration.
Compared with those who napped for more than 30 minutes per day, those who napped for less than 15 min had a 42% lower risk of developing atrial fibrillation; while those who napped for 15 to 30 min had a 56% reduced risk.

Most melatonin gummies in US are inaccurately labelled
1. Melatonin gummies are routinely given to children for sleep, stress and relaxation.
Melatonin is not approved by FDA for use in children, and hence #melatonin gummies are bought OTC or online.

2. Pediatric melatonin ingestions in US increased 530% from 2012 to 2021 and were associated with 27 795 emergency department and clinic visits, 4097 hospitalizations, 287 intensive care unit admissions, and 2 deaths.
3. In a recent study, 25 melatonin gummy brands were analyzed. Twenty-two of 25 products (88%) were inaccurately labeled, and only 3 products (12%) contained a quantity of melatonin that was within ±10% of the declared quantity.

The findings of this one suggest that acute evening HIIT may partially reduce the detrimental effects of partial sleep restriction on long-term declarative memory.
- Some studies have shown that short sleep duration (<7 hours per night) is associated with adverse health outcomes and impaired cognitive functioning including poor attention, decreased concentration and impaired memory.
- The objective of this study was to estimate the extent to which a remote, evening HIIT intervention performed in the evening prior to encoding (learning) would compensate for the negative effect of sleep restriction...

2. Short sleep (<5 hours), long sleep (>9 hours), impaired sleep quality, difficulty getting to sleep or maintaining sleep, unplanned napping, prolonged napping (>1 hour), snoring & breathing cessation (OSA) were all significantly associated with increased odds of acute stroke.
3. Short sleep (<5 h) was associated with a 3.1 times higher risk of stroke, and long sleep (>9 h) was associated with 2.7 times higher risk of stroke, as compared to those who slept 7 hours.
More the number of sleep disturbances, greater was the risk of stroke.

Contrary to other studies, in this Spanish population with high cardiovascular risk, higher cardiovascular health score using the American Heart Association's Life’s Simple 7 metrics was associated with a decreased risk of incident atrial fibrillation in lean individuals only.
- The American Heart Association’s Life’s Simple 7 health score consists of 7 modifiable metrics: physical activity, diet, smoking status, BMI, systolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, and cholesterol.

Lack of sleep (<5 h) and excessive sleep (>9 h), both increase the risk of heart attack
1. Insomnia (lack of sleep) is not considered a traditional risk factor for heart attack.
A recent study examined the association between sleep duration and risk of heart attacks.

In this one, a higher adherence to the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score was found to be associated with lower risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among US adults.

- A higher LE8 score was independently associated with lower mortality risk from all-cause and cardiovascular diseases.
In this one, sedentary older adults residing in the United States with higher visceral adipose tissue and greater total sleep time were more likely to have brains that were physiologically older than would have been expected based upon chronological age alone.
- To provide a more comprehensive analysis of age-related changes to brain structure, new tools that leverage the capacity of machine learning algorithms have emerged.
- Commonly considered a way to determine the physiological age of the brain, these tools utilize regional brain measures from MRI acquired from large samples who range widely in age to calculate a biological brain age.
