The acute and phase-shifting effects of artificial bright light on human physiology, performance and symptoms of jet-lag
… performance and/or alleviate the effects of jet-lag after transmeridian travel. The doctoral programme communicated in the present thesis was designed to fill some of these gaps in knowledge. In the first experiment, the acute effects of light exposure on thermoregulation, pineal function and …

Cellular Mechanisms Underlying the Action of Melatonin in the Suprachiasmatic Nucleus
… with beneficial effects on sleep disorders, jet lag and longevity. Recent attention has focused on its role in circadian physiology. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the circadian pacemaker in all mammals. Melatonin phase advances the circadian rhythm of the activity of the SCN neurons …

Do Less Consistent Night-To-Night Sleep Patterns Impact Emotional Processing Among Healthy School-Aged Children?
… such that greater sleep duration IIV and social jet lag predicted changes in RSA while watching negative emotional movies clips. Sleep regularity’s impact on emotional functioning across development warrants further exploration, especially its impact on emotional functioning after subsequent …

Circadian modulation of the estrogen receptor alpha transcription
… risk in diseases and a number of disorders (e.g. jet lag, insomnia, and cancer). Period 2 (Per2), a circadian protein, is at the center of the clock's function. The loss or deregulation of per2 has been shown to be common in several types of cancer including breast and ovarian [1, 2]. …

PERIOD3 variable number tandem repeat genotype associations with performance, injury, illness and re-entrainment
… inter-individual differences in adjustment to jet-lag after time zone changes. A possible genetic candidate that may be responsible for some of this variation is the PER3 VNTR gene. This gene consist of two alleles corresponding in size to 4-repeats (PER34) or 5-repeats (PER35). Individuals are …

A computational study of sleep and the hemispheres of the brain
… activity. Multiple different perspectives on jetlag are presented, exploring the impact of circadian rhythm changes. Unihemispheric sleep, the unusual form of sleep exhibited by some ocean creatures and species of birds, is observed, as well as asymmetric sleep, which occurs in human subjects …

Sleep and athletic performance of Formula 1 race car drivers during the 2019 season
<p>Sufficient, good quality sleep is associated with better performance in many sports; however, this relationship has not been examined among motorsport athletes. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between sleep quality (SQ), sleep duration (SD), and performance metrics …
