I am very happy to be part of this work with my old UCL mate Simon Lowe and James Jepson, showing that sleep and habituation are linked! #drosophila #sleep #habituation

It was pretty surprising at the time when I first noticed sleep level in Nca mutants can be modified by daylight length! Which leads to my research focus on visually driven #sleep
Part of this investigation are preprint here:

Does anyone have any cute/stylish recommendations for a simple bedroom clock? Ideally it would be USB C rechargeable, colorful, cute, and readable in the dark.

I'm trying to not-rely on my phone or other gadgets for sleep time as they are just a distraction for me.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi said on Thursday she only sleeps for between two and four hours every night, while she also faces criticism for encouraging people to overwork. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11/14/japan/politics/takaichi-sleep-overwork/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #sanaetakaichi #overwork #health #sleep #jobs #workstylereform

I am glad to say that the first manuscript from the lab is now available on BioRxiv
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.30.685496v1
We set out to answer a simple question:
If the fruit fly #Drosophila cannot see clearly, how would they #sleep ?

New research shows attention lapses due to #sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain — a process that normally occurs during sleep.
