People in Modern Societies Sleep More but Have Irregular Sleep Cycles
A study analyzing 54 global sleep studies has found that people in industrialised societies sleep longer than those in hunter-gatherer communities. While sleep efficiency is also higher in modern settings, circadian rhythms are less regular. Researchers suggest reduced exposure to natural light may be a key factor in these disruptions. The study ch...

Common Noctule Bats Use Warm Winds to Migrate More Than 1000 km Across Europe, Claims Study
Researchers have tracked the migration of common noctule bats using lightweight transmitters, uncovering their remarkable ability to travel over 1000 kilometers in just a few days. These bats adapt their routes and timing based on environmental factors, such as tailwinds and warming weather conditions, to maximise efficiency. The study provides cri...

Weight Loss Attempts Not Working as Desired? Time to Pay Attention to Your Gut Microbiome, Study Suggests
A new study says the genetic capacity of the gut microbiome is also a significant factor that influences how much weight a person is likely to lose with simple lifestyle changes. The gut microbiome, having trillions of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, plays a key role in digestion. It also benefits the immune system.
