Global Chrono Corona Survey
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the lives of millions of people around the world. Together with Maria Korman (Ariel University, Israel), we are investigating how lock-downs and shelter-in-place changes the daily routines of different chronotypes. Posing the question: How has the “New Normal” changed our sleep and has it reduced Social Jetlag? Feel free to participate in our survey.
The Quilombo Project
In collaboration with the LMU Munich and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Porto Alegre, we investigate a unique part of the population in Brazil: the Quilombolas. Their close communities live in all stages of the industrialisation, from pre-electrical to modern-urban. We analyse their circadian rhythm and sleep to understand how their basic behaviours changed over time.
Shift Worker Projects
For many years, Prof. Till Roenneberg has been conducting shift-work-studies in various industries and has developed several new strategies and tools to analyse and improve the burden of shift-work on the individual worker. This experience is now funnelled into consulting companies from varies sectors of industry in optimising their schedules.
Advising Companies
Whether it is the production of cosmetics, baby food or beer, Chronsulting advises companies to improve their products by incorporating evidence-based knowledge on sleep and circadian rhythm.
School & Sleep Projects
Prof. Till Roenneberg has been working with different schools all over Europe, encouraging the introduction of school start times that are better adapted to the late clocks in older children, teenagers and adolescents. The aim of these projects is to improve students learning abilities, by taking circadian rhythms and sleep seriously in education and development.
