Donald McEachron, PhD

McEachron studies biological rhythms and their effect on bodily processes and quality of life. He is an expert on circadian rhythms and biological responses to day-night cycles and natural light. He is currently helping to design a system of tunable LED lighting in senior living centers that will use changing light help to keep their biorhythms in sync and avoid problems related to Seasonal Affective Disorder. McEachron has commented in stories about Seasonal Affective Disorder and how sleep deprivation and erratic sleep schedules affect the academic performance of college students.
