We investigate how metabolism (especially autophagy and nitrogen homeostasis) interfaces with sleep and circadian rhythms, using behavioral, imaging, and biochemical approaches. We are particularly interested in how metabolism helps prioritize behavioral homeostats in health, and how metabolism may couple chronic sleep or circadian disturbance to neurodegeneration, kidney disease, and other pathologies.
