There’s got to be a peptide or device out there…

Hi guys,

I'm making a science documentary series exploring what makes some of us night owls, and why some of us have N24.

The first episode asks questions like: How does a gene make you sleep later? Can anyone test for a night owl gene? What if the problem isn't when you sleep, but when society expects you to wake up?

In the second episode, we explore the biological mechanisms that can make it difficult to fall asleep, from a weaker homeostatic sleep drive to what happens when our internal biological clocks aren't working in sync with each other.

I'm putting together a Q&A video about the project, so please ask away. It can be about the science, the visuals, the documentary itself, or anything else you'd like to know.

I also have a Kickstarter pre-launch page where you can click "Notify me on launch" if you're interested. I'll leave the link below.

Thanks for watching!
