Excited to share this paper from my lab, @circadianumbers, Vineetha Kalavally & @elisemcglashan. With our wearable light sensor, we found evening home light to be too bright. Extending twilight until bed is not what our bodies evolved to cope with! doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-7…

Believe that you can properly function with ≤ 5 hours of sleep/ night? Guess again! The percentage of the population that can do so (rounded to a whole number) is ZERO (0)! #Sleep #HarvardSleeps
