Laboratory Description:

We study the role circadian preference plays in health and disease and look at the links between sleep disorders and psychiatric and somatic conditions. We adapt and develop personalized evidence-based psychological interventions (e.g., rational-emotive and cognitive-behavioural approaches) for sleep disorders. We assess the individuals by subjective methods (interviews, scales, logs) and objective ones, such as actigraphy, portable electroencephalography magnetic resonance imaging or genetic analysis.

Additional Descriptors, Keywords:

insomnia, CBT-i, fMRI
