The impact of spaceflight on sleep and circadian rhythms
What happens to human sleep and circadian rhythms in space? There are many challenges that affect sleep in space, including unusual patterns of light exposure and the influence of microgravity. This talk will review the causes and consequences of sleep loss and circadian misalignment during spaceflight and will discuss how missions to the Moon and Mars will be different than missions to the International Space Station.
Sleep and the gut
Sleep is generally associated with the brain but poor sleep impacts the entire body - many diseases are caused or exacerbated by sleep loss. Our work is uncovering ways in which sleep and the body interact. We found a special, two-way relationship between sleep and the gut: the gut is uniquely impacted by sleep loss, and it actively controls sleep quality. These findings could help us understand the origins of sleep as well as develop strategies to offset the negative consequences of inadequate sleep.
