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:
