Thank you for your interest in our research!

Poor sleep, or sleep deprivation, can have significant negative impacts on general health. It can lead to a range of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, mental health problems, cognitive impairments, and an increased risk of accidents.

This research aims to understand the links between behaviours, physiology and sleep.

Should you have any concerns with poor sleep, please visit the official NHS page (https://www.nhs.uk/every-mind-matters/mental-health-issues/sleep/) or SleepHubs (https://sleephubs.com/) for professional advice.
