abstract: One of the most predictable aspects of conscious life is the daily sleep-wake cycle, which is programmed by an internal clock that exerts broad effects on behavior and physiology. Studies of He et al. (2016) identify a small molecule clock modulator that improves metabolism, revealing that enhancing circadian function benefits health.
