The Sleep Monitoring and Analysis Group at Imperial College London investigates approaches to sleep measurement, monitoring, and analysis. Research interests include wearable sleep technologies, ear-EEG monitoring, automated sleep stage scoring, machine learning, environmental influences on sleep, and sleep-related biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease. Through interdisciplinary research spanning engineering, medicine, and data science, the group contributes to sleep assessment research.
The John Trinder Sleep Laboratory at The University of Melbourne investigates the physiological mechanisms underlying sleep and sleep disorders. Research spans respiratory physiology, obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, cardiovascular regulation during sleep, sleep architecture, and neurophysiology. The laboratory contributes to postgraduate training, translational research, and the advancement of evidence-based sleep medicine.
Johns Hopkins University has advanced sleep medicine since establishing its Sleep Medicine Program in the mid-1970s. Its interdisciplinary research focuses on obstructive sleep apnea, sleep physiology, circadian biology, and the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of sleep-disordered breathing. The program combines clinical research, advanced diagnostics, and fellowship training to improve understanding and treatment of sleep disorders.
Kids and Community Sleep Research is a specialist program within the University of Queensland’s Child Health Research Centre. The group investigates sleep health in children, adolescents, and families, focusing on sleep equity, developmental outcomes, learning, and community wellbeing. Through multidisciplinary research, it advances evidence-based approaches to improve child health, public health, and long-term sleep outcomes.
Based within the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London, the Sleep and Brain Health Group investigates relationships between sleep, mental health, neurodevelopment, and brain ageing. Research focuses on psychosis, bipolar disorder, neuroimaging, cognitive function, and neurodegenerative disease, contributing to advances in sleep, brain health, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
The Laboratory and Clinical Sleep Medicine Unit at Evangelismos Hospital is affiliated with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and supports the diagnosis, treatment, and study of sleep disorders. Clinical and academic activities include sleep-disordered breathing, polysomnography, positive airway pressure therapy, and sleep medicine education. As part of a major university teaching hospital, the unit contributes to clinical training, research, and the continued development of sleep medicine within Greece.
The Sleep Research Unit within the Faculty of Medicine at Mansoura University supports research, education, and clinical collaboration across the disciplines of Psychiatry, Pulmonary Medicine, and Sleep Medicine. Areas of interest include chronic insomnia, parasomnias, sleep-disordered breathing, and the neuropsychiatric aspects of sleep health. The unit has contributed to the scientific literature in sleep medicine and plays an active role in postgraduate education, clinical research, and the advancement of sleep science within Egypt and the region.
The Mayo Clinic Center for Sleep Medicine provides multidisciplinary clinical care, education, and research in sleep medicine. Research spans sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behaviour disorder, circadian rhythm disorders, and other neurological and respiratory sleep conditions. The program advances evidence-based diagnosis, treatment, specialist training, and clinical research across adult and paediatric populations.
The Centre for Study and Treatment of Circadian Rhythms at the Douglas Mental Health Institute and McGill University conducts multidisciplinary research into circadian biology and sleep-wake regulation. Research examines shift work, jet lag, fatigue, and the effects of circadian disruption on physical and mental health, cognition, mood, performance, and chronic disease through laboratory, clinical, and translational studies.
