This edited volume focuses on the interplay between sleep and
circadian rhythms with health, aging and longevity. Sleep is
absolutely important for human health and survival, as insufficient
sleep is associated with a plethora of conditions, including the
poor quality of life, onset of several diseases, and premature
death. The sleep-wake cycle is an evolutionary conserved
neurobiological phenomenon, and is a prominent manifestation of the
biological clocks localised in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN).
Understanding bidirectional relationship between sleep and
circadian rhythms is of utmost importance and urgency, especially
in the context of modern lifestyle where sleep is often out of
phase with the internal body clocks, social jetlag, artificial
lights and so on. The 25 chapters by leading researchers and
experts from 11 countries are arranged into seven sections:
understanding sleep and clock interlink in health and longevity;
sleep, aging and longevity; clock, aging and longevity; melatonin,
sleep and clock; genetic regulation of sleep and clock; therapeutic
interventions in sleep disorders and clock misalignment; and
experimental models to study sleep and clocks in aging and
longevity. This book is useful for advanced undergraduate and
graduate students, and researchers, educators, and other biomedical
professionals.
