Kick off meeting Healthy Living as a service in Martiniplaza. Our goal in this project is to contribute with knowledge on 24-hour rhythms and sleep. Michelle Luxwolda and Rieks Hoekman organised a presentation of Chrono@Work in a booth. The audience could indicate their sleep pattern to create a chronotype distribution in a creative way!
Chrono@Work received the good news that funding was granted for a project in the topic PCH (personalized & connected health) Ecosystem from the University Medical Center Groningen. This is a European funded project under the umbrella of SNN. In the project, Chrono@Work, supported by the University of Groningen, will develop a mobile application to use…
Chrono@Work is proud to participate in the EU Horizon2020 Research Project “ENLIGHTENme”: Exploring the Impact of Urban Lighting and Indoor Lighting on Health and Wellbeing, which started with a kick-off meeting on March 4th– 5th, 2021.

On May 16, Chrono @ Work organizes 2 workshops for Ambulance Care Netherlands in the Rijtuigenloods in Amersfoort. These workshops are part of the program ‘Sustainable employability: Optimal on the go!’ Both workshops are fully booked. During the workshop attention is given to the care for the ambulance workers themselves. How to deal with the…
Under the umbrella of the Dutch Association of Sleep-Wake Research (NSWO) and the Sleep Medicine Association Netherlands (SVNL) the first Dutch Sleep Congress, SLEEP 2016.will be organized on the 3-4 November, 2016 in the Heerlickheijd, Ermelo. The conference is a unique interdisciplinary collaboration between different departments working in the field of Sleep, e.g. pulmonologists, neurologists,…
Light of short wavelengths has been shown to play a key role in non-image forming responses. Due to aging, the ocular lens becomes more yellow reducing the transmission of short wavelengths in the elderly. In the present study, we make use of cataract surgery to investigate the effects of a relative increase of short wavelength transmission on melatonin-…
This study examined associations of chronotype and age with shift-specific assessments of main sleep duration, sleep quality and need for recovery in a cross-sectional study among N ¼ 261 industrial shift workers (96.6% male). Logistic regression analyses were used, adjusted for gender, lifestyle, health, nap behaviour, season of assessment and shift schedule. Shift workers with latest versus earliest…
Light is an important environmental stimulus for the entrainment of the circadian clock and for increasing alertness. The intrinsically photosensitive ganglion cells in the retina play an important role in transferring this light information to the circadian system and they are elicited in particular by short-wavelength light. Exposure to short wavelengths is reduced, for instance, in elderly…
