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 titled "Sleep, Melatonin, and the Biological Clock: How the Night Governs Our Health." Sleep is a fundamental, organized process essential for neural regeneration, hormonal balance, cognitive consolidation, and immune response. The lecture explores neurobiological mechanisms of circadian rhythms, focusing on the suprachiasmatic nucleus as our internal master clock, and melatonin's role as a synchronization molecule. It addresses modern challenges such as blue light exposure, chronic stress, desynchronosis, and social jet lag that disrupt our biological architecture. The event aims to rediscover sleep scientifically and provide practical, clinically proven tools to enhance life quality and psycho-emotional resilience. A buffet and pleasant atmosphere will be provided. Venue: Tina Iosebidze St. #57, Tbilisi. Price: 40.
