Affiliated with Dalhousie University and the Departments of Psychology and Neuroscience, Corkum LABS is a pediatric sleep research program led by Professor Penny Corkum. The program investigates sleep health in children and adolescents, with interests in ADHD, neurodevelopment, behavioural sleep interventions, digital health technologies, and implementation science. The program supports research, knowledge translation, and evidence-based approaches to sleep health.
The Centre for Study and Treatment of Circadian Rhythms is a multidisciplinary research program within the Douglas Mental Health Institute and McGill University. Research focuses on circadian biology, sleep-wake regulation, shift work, jet lag, fatigue, and relationships between biological rhythms and health. Through laboratory, clinical, and translational research, the centre contributes to understanding circadian disruption and sleep disorders.
Affiliated with the University of Calgary, Alberta Health Services, and Foothills Medical Centre, the Sleep Centre supports clinical care, education, and research in sleep medicine. Areas of interest include sleep-disordered breathing, obstructive sleep apnea, insomnia, circadian rhythm disorders, respiratory sleep medicine, sleep diagnostics, and home sleep testing. The program contributes to the diagnosis and management of sleep disorders.
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.
The Sleep Research Laboratory at Brock University is affiliated with the Department of Psychology and supports research into sleep, cognition, memory, emotion, and behavioural neuroscience. Areas of investigation include sleep deprivation, memory consolidation, sleep spindles and K-complexes, cognitive performance, and the effects of sleep on emotional processing. Through experimental sleep research, the laboratory contributes to understanding the relationships between sleep, brain function, learning, memory, and psychological wellbeing.
The Sleep Research Laboratory at the University of Ottawa supports interdisciplinary research examining the relationships between sleep, cognition, brain function, and human performance. Research interests include sleep architecture, sleep deprivation, daytime sleepiness, neurobehavioural functioning, cognitive resilience, and individual responses to sleep loss. Through experimental and translational research, the laboratory contributes to understanding the mechanisms underlying sleep-related changes in attention, performance, and cognitive function while advancing knowledge in sleep science and human health.
Based within Concordia University’s Department of Psychology and Centre for Research in Human Development, this interdisciplinary research laboratory investigates the relationships between sleep, cognition, brain function, and healthy ageing. Research areas include sleep physiology, electroencephalography (EEG), neuroimaging, memory consolidation during sleep, sensory processing, and auditory neuroscience. Through experimental and translational research, the laboratory contributes to understanding how sleep influences cognition, brain health, neural plasticity, and age-related changes in human performance and wellbeing.
The SLUMBER Lab (Sleep Solutions Lab) at UBC Okanagan investigates sleep health in infants, children, adolescents, and families. Affiliated with the School of Nursing, the program focuses on pediatric sleep health, family sleep practices, behavioural sleep interventions, digital health technologies, and community-based sleep research. Through interdisciplinary and translational research, the laboratory contributes to understanding sleep across the lifespan while supporting practical approaches to improving sleep health and wellbeing in children, families, and communities.
Affiliated with Université Laval and the CERVO Brain Research Centre, this multidisciplinary research program focuses on insomnia, behavioural sleep medicine, sleep epidemiology, and the links between sleep and mental health. Research includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), population-based sleep studies, ageing, and long-term outcomes. Through clinical and public health research, the program advances understanding, treatment, and prevention of chronic sleep disorders.
