Sleep, Melatonin, and the Biological Clock: How Night Governs Health

On July 15, the Academy of Thought hosts a salon-style conversation with psychiatrist Guga Sikharulidze on "Sleep, Melatonin, and the Biological Clock: How the Night Governs Our Health." Sleep is a fundamental, organized process essential for neural regeneration, hormonal balance, cognition, and immunity. The lecture explores neurobiological mechanisms of circadian rhythms, focusing on the suprachiasmatic nucleus and melatonin's role as a synchronization agent. It addresses modern disruptions such as blue light exposure, chronic stress, desynchronosis, and social jet lag that affect our biological clock. The event aims to deepen understanding of sleep based on scientific evidence and provide practical, clinically proven tools to enhance quality of life and psycho-emotional resilience. Attendees will enjoy a buffet and a welcoming atmosphere.
