BioClocks UK is a hub for biological rhythms research in the UK, supporting researchers to deliver impact through outreach, training, and community-specific resources. Website: https://www.bioclocks.uk/ Find out more: https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2023.034
Satellites could disrupt #circadian rhythms globally. Major projects such as #ReflectOrbital and #SpaceX are pushing boundaries, and now is the time to recognise the effect these projects could have on life everywhere. www.bioclocks.uk/news

Prof. Andrew Millar is a circadian systems biologist and co-founder of @bioclocksuk.bsky.social.
Watching this has been informative and grounding (dealing with some anxiety here in the U.S.).

As the day shortens you might start to see a change in the behaviour of the little visitors in your garden and local parks. What do you notice?
Nocturnal activity is the result of internal biological rhythms! Learn more through our factsheets: www.bioclocks.uk/factsheets

What makes you tick?
We talk about #circadian rhythms and the biological clock like we already know what's going on, but there's still so much to learn about this fundamental process!

Too early to think? Why school start times matter for sleep and learning 🎒 ⏰
Another great episode of @lightoclock.bsky.social podcast covering adolescent sleep, circadian rhythms and initiatives aimed at delaying school start times www.tscnlab.org/podcast/s03e04

☀️ Summer is a great time to observe biological rhythms in action. Look at the insect life around you - do they come out at a particular time of day?
🐝 If so, you've found their 'temporal niche'!

🧠 These patterns matter:
• Should services adapt services to provide support when most needed?
• Could timing light therapy or crisis care boost impact?

☀️ Depression and anxiety were lowest in the morning, rising through the day.
😊 Happiness peaked early, dropped midday, rebounded a bit – then crashed by midnight.
😐 Loneliness barely changed – it stayed steady across the day.
🕰️ Do things really feel better in the morning?
A UK study analysed 1 million mood reports from 49,000 people across 2 years and found a clear pattern.
Mental health peaks in the morning and dips late at night.

You probably know that humans have #circadian rhythms, but did you know plants do too? Now is a great time to go out and witness clocks in nature!
