Research Into Hibernation
Ecology, ethology, evolution, physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology of hibernation. Biomedical applications of hibernating mechanisms, e.g. in medicine or space travel, and related disciplines such as biological rhythms, sleep, thermoregulation and hypometabolism.

Trouble getting up? You can’t help that!Your internal biological clock determines whether you get up easily or not. So if you turn around after the alarm has gone off, you can easily blame that clock. Roelof Hut of the University of Groningen has been researching the biological clock for years.
