Sleep and health: Prof. Born explains the secret in the Audimax!
On August 26, 2025, the University of Lübeck will host a public lecture by Prof. Dr. Jan Born will shed light on an exciting topic: “Learning in your sleep, not a dream”. The event will take place at 6:15 p.m. in the AM 1 auditorium of the Audimax and is part of the Leopoldina symposium “Sleep and Clocks in Health and Disease”. This symposium is a central part of the 18th Congress of the European Society for Chronobiology (EBRS), which will take place in Lübeck from August 24th to 28th, 2025 uni-luebeck.de reported.
The lecture is chaired by Prof. Dr. Horst-Werner Korf from Düsseldorf, a member of the Leopoldina. In addition to this lecture, the Max Planck Society's science roadshow entitled “Night owl or early riser?” will take place on the same day. expected in front of the Audimax.
Interactive experiences on chronobiology
The roadshow offers visitors the opportunity to take part in interactive experiences on chronobiology and light processing. The event aims to show how light influences the internal clock and what role this plays in our perception, health and everyday lifestyle. The goal is to make the connections between light, sleep and health understandable uni-heute.de supplemented.
Visitors can actively become citizen researchers and participate in data collection. A mobile research laboratory will offer interactive experiments and exhibitions to research the factors influencing sleep-wake rhythms and eating behavior. The roadshow starts on May 10, 2025 and will travel to various festivals, trade fairs and public places until July 2025.
Research on chronobiology and health
The Sleep Research and Clinical Chronobiology working group, led by PD Dr. med. D. Kunz at the St. Hedwig Hospital, researches the effects of light on health. The group focuses on the clinical application of chronobiological methods and the treatment of REM sleep behavior disorders, which are considered precursors of synucleinopathies, including Lewy body dementia, multiple system atrophy and Parkinson's disease charite.de reported.
The “Light and Health” area, headed by PD Dr. phil. M. Münch, investigates the effects of light on psyche and health. This happens not only on healthy subjects, but also on patients. The research includes basic experiments in the laboratory and applied studies under semi-naturalistic conditions and is supported by various collaborations, both within the Charité and internationally.
