Research Interests

My work involves inter-individual differences in sleep that require analysis of sleep structure, quantitative analysis of the spectral composition of the sleep and waking EEG, assessments of alertness and mood, and measurements of neuroendocrine function. My objective is to determine whether there are differences between short and long sleepers in neurobehavioral and cognitive functions, and in their susceptibility to homeostatic sleep pressure.
