As the day shortens you might start to see a change in the behaviour of the little visitors in your garden and local parks. What do you notice?

Nocturnal activity is the result of internal biological rhythms! Learn more through our factsheets: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets

☀️ Summer is a great time to observe biological rhythms in action. Look at the insect life around you - do they come out at a particular time of day?

🐝 If so, you've found their 'temporal niche'!

You probably know that humans have #circadian rhythms, but did you know plants do too? Now is a great time to go out and witness clocks in nature!

Nearly 9 million people in the UK work nights - a practice classified as “probably carcinogenic to humans” by the WHO. The risks of cancer, and a whole host of other conditions, are possibly due to the disruption of #circadian rhythms. So, what can you do to reduce this?

Are you a night owl or a lark? Chronotypes are more complex than we think. Understanding your chronotype can help you plan your day to optimise alertness and productivity – but be aware, you may change as you age!

Light exposure affects mood, but running an experiment that links everyday light exposure with mood is no easy feat. See how Chloe Roddis and her team at the Manchester Centre for Biological Timing are getting it done: www.bioclocks.uk/research/emb...
