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.
