How does life in cities versus rural areas shape our circadian rhythms? How does access to electricity — or the lack of it — impact sleep timing? And what happens to our circadian rhythms when we move from an urban setting to camping outside? 🌆🏕️ 1/3 ↪️

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? 1/3
