Biographical Information
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.
