Research Interests:
We conduct laboratory and field studies of sleep and performance in humans. In the field studies, we assess the impact of work schedules on objectively-measured sleep and subsequent objectively-measured performance in people going about their normal routines of work, family, and community life. In the laboratory studies, we investigate under highly controlled conditions the effects of restricted sleep on performance and individual differences in performance in response to sleep restriction. The aim of the work is to develop more effective means of managing sleep to sustain performance.
