Available projects

  • Sleep security

    These projects address the significance of sleep as a human right, and an indicator and mechanism of disadvantage. This work includes perspectives from economics, urban planning, sociology and other disciplines.

  • Better sleep

    These projects focus on developing and testing novel and effective programs to improve sleep in specific populations. This has included young children in the early care settings, young people in alcohol and other drug rehabilitation settings, people experiencing chronic pain, sleep health programs for students, support for families, and programs with research leaders in First Nations sleep health.

  • Sleep and the environment

    These projects focus on household and neighbourhood built environments and social features that may influence or determine sleep and circadian wellbeing.
