          Molecular switch mechanism explains how mutations shorten biological clocks

          Study reveals how certain genetic mutations can shorten the timing of the circadian clock, making some people extreme "morning larks" because their internal clock operates on a 20-hour cycle, as opposed to a 24-hour cycle.

          Chronobiologists warn of health risks linked to daylight saving

          Chronobiologists warn changing to daylight savings can have serious effects on both brain and general health. The change in time during spring was linked to a 24% increase in severe cardiovascular events in women. Researchers also noted the sudden change in time alters circadian rhythms, reduces the production of natural melatonin, impacts cognitive function, and may also foster tumor growth.
