This study is testing whether special 'dynamic' lighting in hospital rooms can help improve sleep and daily rhythms for elderly patients. It will involve 300 patients over age 65 who are hospitalized. Researchers will compare patients in rooms with the special lighting to those i…

This study aims to understand how our internal body clock and sleepiness affect how we perceive time. Healthy adult volunteers will stay awake for about 36 hours in a controlled lab while taking regular tests on time perception, alertness, and mood. By measuring these changes alo…

This study aims to understand how a person's natural daily rhythm, or 'chronotype' (whether you're a morning or evening person), affects how they perceive time and stay alert. Healthy Danish-speaking adults who are clearly morning or evening types will complete two lab sessions: …

This study aims to understand how eating a high-fat diet affects your body's internal clock and its ability to adjust to schedule changes. Researchers will compare how quickly healthy participants' biological rhythms adapt when eating high-fat versus low-fat meals during controll…

This study aims to understand how what we eat affects how we sleep and our body's daily functions. Healthy young adults will try two different diets—one unhealthy 'Western' style and one healthier, fiber-rich diet—while researchers measure their sleep, heart rate, blood sugar, an…
