Age-related decline in mammalian circadian rhythm has been recognized for decades, but the underlying molecular mechanisms have remained elusive. In this issue of Cell, Chang and Guarente use brain-specific SIRT1 knockout mice and transgenic mice overexpressing SIRT1 to develop an enticing model for how SIRT1 helps maintain the robustness of the aging circadian clock.
