The study found that when rats don’t get enough sleep, a body clock protein called Cry gets lower, which causes inflammation and insulin problems. When they gave the rats a herbal medicine to boost Cry, those problems got better — proving that Cry helps control inflammation and insulin response during sleep loss.
