Overview

Till Roenneberg is affiliated with Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in Germany. Their research focuses on the neuroscience and psychology of sleep, circadian rhythms, and related physiological processes. They have contributed extensively to the understanding of how circadian rhythm and melatonin influence sleep and wakefulness. Their research also covers sleep and related disorders, sleep and wakefulness research, and the impact of environmental light on health.

Roenneberg's work spans several key topics, including:

Circadian rhythm and melatonin
Sleep and related disorders
Sleep and Wakefulness Research
Impact of Light on Environment and Health
Sleep and Work-Related Fatigue
Dietary Effects on Health
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Research

The primary fields of study in their publications are:

Neuroscience
Psychology

Within these broader fields, Roenneberg has a notable presence in the following subfields:

Experimental and Cognitive Psychology
Endocrine and Autonomic Systems
Cognitive Neuroscience
Physiology
Global and Planetary Change

Roenneberg publishes frequently in a variety of journals. The most common publication venues include:

SLEEP
bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
Journal of Sleep Research
