How does our body know when to fall asleep? Should we avoid looking at our smartphones before going to bed? And what about eating late in the evening? The new online comic book "Enlighten your clock: How your body tells time" answers these questions and many more.

This comic book provides a light-hearted, funny and scientifically grounded introduction to the science of sleep. Learn about the body clock, the brain basis of sleep, sleep conditions such as insomnia and narcolepsy, and how to improve sleep. The complex science on these subjects is illuminated through beautiful drawings and a charming narrative which bring the concepts to life.
