youtu.be/4x-NB-eiKKg via @YouTube Please take a look at our Nature Awards-Science in Shorts video about how nighttime light affects sleep. I would like to thank @SamerHattar @martinathurman @CorinneBeier @TenleyWeil for making it materialized!

The retinal ipRGC-preoptic circuit mediates the acute effect of light on sleep @SamerHattar @ZeZhangSleep @CorinneBeier @TenleyWeil @NIMHgov @NIH nature.com/articles/s4146…

How light modulates #sleep: @SamerHattar & colleagues demonstrate that intrinsically #photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) innervate the preoptic area. Activation of this pathway ⬆️ non-REM sleep, by inhibiting activity in wake-promoting areas. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@GC_Vanini @NatureComms @SamerHattar @CorinneBeier @TenleyWeil @NIMHgov @NIH Thank you, Dr. Vanini!

@ZeZhangSleep @NatureComms @SamerHattar @CorinneBeier @TenleyWeil @NIMHgov @NIH Very nice work. Congrats!

R u interested in how nighttime light affects sleep? If so, please take a look at our new report @NatureComms. I’d like to thank my supervisor @SamerHattar and collaborators @CorinneBeier @TenleyWeil. Also particularly thank @NIMHgov @NIH for support. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@realRihellab Thank you!

Looks cool!

@DiegoUsingTw Thanks, Diego!

In nocturnal animals, light can acutely induce sleep. Here is a great paper describing how the brain tells sleep time. Congrats to Harris and team 👏🏻👏🏻✌️

@zhan_solo Thanks!

As you may know, nighttime light profoundly influences our sleep. So today let's start off with how dark affects our sleep first😬 cell.com/current-biolog…

If u r curious about whether red light affects sleep, maybe this paper could provide a little bit clue🙂. nature.com/articles/lsa20…
