Bad night's sleep? The moon might be to blame | Elsevier Connect


Many people complain about poor sleep around the full moon, and now a report just published in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, offers some of the first convincing scientific evidence to suggest that this really is true. The findings add to evidence that humans — despite the comforts of our civilized world — still respond to the geophysical rhythms of the moon, driven by a circalunar clock. The  'Current Biology' journal is available from the Library by searching the Ejournal listings or via the Science Direct database.

 Irish researchers led by a group in NUI Maynooth have made an important discovery that could lead to new treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases.
