Circadian rhythms and sleep are fundamental biological processes integral to human
health. Their disruption is associated with detrimental physiological consequences …

Circadian clocks are endogenous oscillators that control 24-hour physiological and
behavioural processes in organisms. These cell-autonomous clocks are composed of a …

Daytime napping is a common, heritable behavior, but its genetic basis and causal
relationship with cardiometabolic health remain unclear. Here, we perform a genome-wide …

Sleep is nearly ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, yet little is known about how
