Research Interests

I am currently investigating the effects of aging on sleep and the circadian pacemaker.
The first study focuses on better characterizing the age-related sleep disruption experienced even by healthy older people and its relation with the aging of the circadian pacemaker.
The second study looks at the relationship between urinary complaints and sleep disruption in older people and how it relates to age-related alterations of sleep and the circadian pacemaker.
