I enjoyed being part of this wonderful team effort to help us understand how light exposure patterns predict mortality in the UK Biobank. Further evidence to suggest that disrupted circadian rhythms have profound and lasting impacts on human health.

Healthy light & longevity. Excited to share our latest work in PNAS today. Personal light exposure patterns of ~88k individuals shows that bright nights and dark days longitudinally predict earlier mortality. Keep the days bright and the nights dark!

Circadian timing🕒 is important for health, but circadian amplitude🏔️may be even more important. We found stronger core body temperature amplitude ➡️ more robust peripheral metabolite rhythms in humans. A robust clock organises the body's rhythms.

Today, we have published our results from the UK Biobank in Lancet Regional Health - Europe showing that night light exposure is an important predictor for type 2 diabetes, from 13 million hours of personal light sensor data. (1/4)

Thanks to @SleepAndSports and the SRS podcast team for having us on to discuss sleep regularity, it was lots of fun!
