Imperial Sleep: Race, Climate, and Health in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century British India
This article argues that sleep is an understudied element of bodily experience in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British India. Using the notion of “imperial sleep,” the article explores the ways in which the bodies of colonized and colonizer were enmeshed through medical, material, and technological cultures of sleep and sleeping. Sleep practices reveal complex interactions of imperial hierarchies of race and class as the British i…
Introduction: Laboratory times
In this introduction to the Special Section 'Laboratory Times', the editors argue that a focused body of scholarship at the intersection of time and the laboratory has yet to materialize. To contextualize the papers that comprise the Special Section, we survey the role of the lab within time studies, as well as the place of temporality within Science and Technology Studies (STS). We show how time is made to structure and shape scientific practice…
Z-Time: Making and feeling time in the chronobiological laboratory
This article explores how scientists make and feel time in the context of the chronobiological laboratory. Like other scholars who have tracked the temporal regimes of scientific knowledge making, I am interested in the kinds of times produced in and around experiments performed by the scientists who study circadian rhythms. During gruelling 'time point' experiments, chronobiologists attempt to mould their own rhythmic, biological bodies to a sci…
Timeless spaces: Field experiments in the physiological study of circadian rhythms, 1938–1963
In the middle of the twentieth century, physiologists interested in human biological rhythms undertook a series of field experiments in natural spaces that they believed could closely approximate conditions of biological timelessness. With the field of rhythms research was still largely on the fringes of the life sciences, natural spaces seemed to offer unique research opportunities beyond what was available to physiologists in laboratory spaces.…

"Visceral Consciousness": The Gut-Brain Axis in Sleep and Sleeplessness in Britain and America, 1850–1914
Sleeplessness was a quotidian yet challenging problem for medical practitioners in Britain and America in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While physiologists endeavored to unravel the secrets of sleep by examining the brain, in the clinic doctors looked to the gut as a site through which sleeplessness was both caused and cured. This article explores the gut-brain axis in medical literature on sleep and sleep loss in this period. It …
The Waste of Daylight’: Rhythmicity, Workers’ Health and Britain’s Edwardian Daylight Saving Time Bills
This article explores an interesting episode in the history of time, health, and modernity: Britain's 1908 and 1909 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Bills. While the original DST scheme was unsuccessful, the discussions surrounding its implementation reveal tensions central to early twentieth century modernity, namely between industrial time and 'natural' bodily rhythms. This article argues that DST was essentially a public health measure aimed at impr…
