Research Interests

My research examines the impact of sleep loss and/or sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and physiological functioning in healthy normal sleepers as well as those with sleep disorders in highly controlled laboratory- and home-based settings. Other areas interest include clinical/pharmaceutical trials and sleep health disparities.
