Like falling asleep and waking up, many biological processes in mammals cycle in a diurnal fashion. Now, Sinturel et al. demonstrate that diurnal size changes in the liver require eating during a mouse's normal awake time and that these size changes are controlled by a nuclear mechanism that modulates ribosome production.
