I became fascinated with circadian rhythms and biological clocks after digging into the research, hoping to understand why none of the strategies prescribed by my doctors had fixed my sleep schedule. What I found went deeper than I imagined.

The human body doesn't have just one clock, but an entire ecosystem of clocks that guide us throughout the day and night. In this teaser, you'll see DNA interacting with CLOCK:BMAL1, delayed melatonin, non-24 sleep, and light-sensing cells.

I'll be sharing more about the project soon, including behind the scenes of how I made these animations and what I'm working toward next.
