Light exposure in the real world This collection invites research on light exposure and its impact on human physiology and behaviour.

Call for Papers – Light exposure in the Real world πŸ’‘πŸ§ 

We’re guest editing a special Collection in npj Biological Timing and Sleep that explores how light, the primary zeitgeber in humans, is measured and understood under naturalistic, everyday conditions.

In the second episode of Season 3, LuΓ­sa Klaus Pilz (CharitΓ© - UniversitΓ€tsmedizin Berlin) shares insights from fieldwork in Brazil on how urban living, electricity access, and camping outdoors affect our circadian rhythms.

How does life in cities versus rural areas shape our circadian rhythms? How does access to electricity β€” or the lack of it β€” impact sleep timing? And what happens to our circadian rhythms when we move from an urban setting to camping outside? πŸŒ†πŸ•οΈ

This weekend, Europe will switch to Daylight Saving Time (DST), moving clocks forward by one hour ⏰ While many people may enjoy more daylight in the evening, scientists in sleep and circadian research argue that DST can be harmful to our health. But why, and what's the evidence?

In the upcoming five episodes, we look beyond the biology of body clocks to explore how our modern world shapes our biological rhythms β€” and how politics and society influence decisions about our body clocks.
