Hello 🙂
I'm gonna type my question first, then give a little details about it....

My question is: Is adenosine regulated by circadian rhythm?

Here's why I asked this question:
After long morning at college during summer semester, I feel really tired, and I really need to get some sleep!!
I fall asleep as soon as I put my head on the pillow, it's evening not night, thus no melatonin (since it's regulated by biological clock), so is it adenosine only?
Here's a theory by Stanford researchers (read:http://news.stanford.edu/pr/96/960116sleep.html)
