Hey Chapper,

You do produce incredible material. Bringing concision to them makes them all the more inviting to be explored :)

I became aware of the importance and relevance of the circadian rhythm to our health via the works of Dr. Patterson and colleagues's (2016) ^Ref., which links improvements in glucoregulation and sleep to processes associating nightly fasting with breast cancer prognosis (in rodents).

Your post brought further clarification as to how these mechanisms may unfold. Considering one's body is not at optimum performance at night, not overbearing it with food just allows for regenerative activities to take place.

I'd like to thank you for the clear explanation of the clockwork, which I had never fully grasped, up to now. Uhhuu :D but, now with that understanding I have a couple of questions: are there individual differences in circadian (or the clock genes) sensitivity to light? For example, my husband can fall asleep with a spotlight shining right in his face. Whereas for me, even the tiny blue light from the internet modem keeps me awake :/

Great work Chapper ! And thank you for listening to your audience ;)

Best,
Abigail.
