A new app to track and chart N24 sleep, created by a Non-24 patient with feedback from the Non-24 community. The reports include an explanation so doctors can understand if they're not familiar with N24 (especially sighted). Phone apps coming! #Non24 #Circadian #Sleep circadia.owlandkestrel.com

I am happy announce that our manuscript preprint from my PhD work at @kofanchen lab is now available.
(https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.05.27.728351v1)
My research (and this manuscript) focuses on investigating the role oculocutaneous albinism-associated genes in regulating sleep and circadian rhythm. I am further focusing on one of the genes reported here (lovit), and how it regulates sleep. Another interesting manuscript to follow soon.
