Chronobiology is on the rise: The Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2017 has been awarded to three chronobiologists (Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young) for their work on the molecular mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms. The circadian clock represents an internal timekeeping system that generates nearly 24-hr rhythms in physiology and behavior. It provides an adaptive advantage for living organisms to the 24-hr periodicity of the Earth's rotation by anticipating environmental changes (e.g., Hastings & Goedert, 2013;Hastings, Reddy, & Maywood, 2003;Kondratova & Kondratov, 2012). Synchronization is also crucial for cognitive processes: The brain provides the temporal platform necessary for perception or attentional modulation, and being desynchronized, whatever the period of the investigated rhythm, can jeopardize brain function and associated health outcomes (Bao et al., 2015). Research on temporal organization indeed perfectly lends itself to vertical interdisciplinarity (from molecules to behavior) such that, besides the term chronobiology, we could equally speak today about chrono-psycho-socio-biology.Extensive research over the past decades has highlighted a full range of human physiology and behavior that is under circadian control. Cell-based autonomous clocks regulate gene expression, be it at the level of transcription, post-transcription, intracellular signaling, or even at the level of mitochondrial activity (Brown, 2014). In addition, more recent studies suggest that circadian clocks play a significant role in developmental, regenerative, and degenerative cellular processes (Brown, 2014).At the physiological level, oscillators co-ordinate or synchronize various operations within and across neuronal networks. The hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus is usually referred to as the circadian "pacemaker" in mammals because it controls not only the daily fluctuations in body temperature, hormone secretion, heart rate, and blood pressure, but also the sleep and wake periods and associated cognitive and brain functions. When assessed under strictly controlled environmental conditions, cognitive performance has been shown to present circadian rhythmicity,
