Stressforskningspodden #46 om kronotyper
Ett nytt avsnitt av Stressforskningspodden har släppts, och den här gången är det huvudsakligen på engelska, då forskaren Leonie Balter gästar studion och talar om Chronotypes, mental health and symptoms.
I studion: Mats, Sandra och Leonie.
Are you a morning or an evening person, or something in between? With Leonie Balter, we explore how such chronotypes and biological rhythms shape mental health and symptoms across the lifespan. The episode covers what chronotypes really are, if people feel younger or older depending on their sleep, and whether insomnia treatments should be tailored to our internal clocks.
We discuss how psychiatric symptoms and syndromes relate to circadian patterns, what shifting chronotypes might signal about resilience or vulnerability, and why the dopamine system is central to this field. Van Gogh’s painting The Starry Night opens a conversation about insomnia, creativity, and mood disorders. We end with a look at current projects and the big questions driving future research.
