Circadian rhythms are the internal ‘clocks' that nearly every tissue and cell runs in the background, collectively tuned to the 24-hour day-night cycle. Aside from being the bane of shift workers, disruption of the body's circadian rhythm has been linked to medical conditions as varied as heart attacks, Alzheimer's disease and cancer. It's also known to regulate blood pressure (BP), which directly impacts heart health.

California startup Roboteos has a third idea in mind, launching a rooftop solar charging system that automatically deploys and tracks the sun throughout the day.
