Podcast: What’s Light Got to Do with It? with Dr. Till Roenneberg

The Project Sleep Podcast – Sleep Insights Series Ep. 4

How much light did you get today? In this fascinating episode, we speak with Dr. Till Roenneberg, a Professor of Chronobiology for the Institute of Medical Psychology at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, Germany. Dr. Roenneberg explains how powerful light and darkness are in setting our internal clocks and how industrialization has shifted how we use light. We discuss how variable our internal clocks can be and the importance of figuring out if you’re a lark, owl, dove, or peacock.
