The circadian rhythm research that just won a Nobel prize in medicine, explained
Three American scientists have won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their discoveries of the microscopic biological machinery that controls the circadian rhythm, or the 24-hour body clock.
Humans, plants, and animals are all ruled by an internal clock that runs on a 24-hour, light-dark cycle in sync with the sun. And there’s not just one of these clocks inside us: They’re in every single cell of every organism — from a tiny bacterium to a large redwood tree.
In humans, these biological clocks anticipate various activities throughout the day, from waking up to sleeping and eating, by regulating things like hormone levels, temperature, and metabolism. Our circadian…

Protecting Sleep in the Hospital, for Both Patients and Doctors
What if sleep were considered a continuous infusion of a medication that helped patients heal faster?
Brain’s "Sleep Switch" Found
Scientists have identified a protein molecule in the brains of fruit flies that they believe is the “switch” that controls the flies’ internal drive to sleep—and that a similar mechanism likely exists for human sleep as well.

Behavioral Sleep Medicine
Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change.
Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine
JCSM focuses on clinical sleep medicine. Its emphasis is publication of papers with direct applicability and/or relevance to the clinical practice of sleep medicine. This includes clinical trials, clinical reviews, clinical commentary and debate, medical economic/practice perspectives, case series and novel/interesting case reports. In addition, the journal will publish proceedings from conferences, workshops and symposia sponsored by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine or other organizations related to improving the practice of sleep medicine.
Journal of Sleep Research
Recent years have seen an unprecedented growth in sleep research and in sleep medicine.The Journal of Sleep Research, owned by the European Sleep Research Society, is an international journal that reflects the progress in this rapidly expanding field, promoting the exchange of ideas between scientists at a global level.
Sleep
SLEEP publishes original findings and analysis related to sleep disorders, medical dysfunctions during sleep, clinical investigations, therapeutic trials, physiologic events, anatomic structures and molecular components underlying normal and abnormal sleep, psychological and psychophysiologic research, and the pharmacology of sleep.
Sleep Medicine
Sleep Medicine aims to be a journal no one involved in clinical sleep medicine can do without. A journal primarily focussing on the human aspects of sleep, integrating the various disciplines that are involved in sleep medicine: neurology, clinical neurophysiology, internal medicine (particularly pulmonology and cardiology), psychology, psychiatry, sleep technology, pediatrics, neurosurgery, otorhinolaryngology, and dentistry.
Sleep Medicine Reviews
Sleep Medicine Reviews provides International coverage of sleep disorders, their aetiology, diagnosis, treatment and implications for related conditions at an individual and public health level. Articles review the clinical information published in peer-reviewed journals devoted to the many disciplines involved in sleep medicine, including: pulmonology, psychiatry, psychology, physiology, otolaryngology, paediatrics, geriatrics, cardiology, dentistry, nursing, neurology and general medicine.
FOCUS Journal for Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine
FOCUS Journal For Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine is edited for clinicians, managers and educators who practice in acute care hospitals, homecare settings and sleep laboratories, nationwide. Issues contain clinical articles pertaining to respiratory care and sleep medicine as well as articles dealing with administration and management.
Sleep and Hypnosis: A Journal of Clinical Neuroscience and Psychopathology
Topics of interest of the journal contain but are not limited to sleep, dreaming, chronobiology, and hypnotherapy. The journal also has a specific interest in articles on theory, assessment and treatment related to trauma and stressor-related disorders.
