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.
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 Northumbria Centre for Sleep Research (NCSR) at Northumbria University investigates sleep, health, wellbeing, and human performance. Research focuses on insomnia, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), behavioural sleep medicine, shift work, and the effects of sleep on cognitive performance. Through interdisciplinary research, the centre contributes to evidence-based approaches for improving sleep health and wellbeing.
Based within the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester, this research program investigates circadian rhythms, sleep, and human health. Research includes circadian timing, sleep-wake regulation, shift work, metabolism, inflammation, and chronic disease. Through laboratory and translational research, the program advances understanding of biological rhythms while supporting chronobiology-based approaches to disease prevention and treatment.
The Sleep Education and Research Laboratory (SERL) at University College London investigates sleep, learning, mental health, and child development. Research includes autism spectrum condition, ADHD, Down syndrome, Williams syndrome, academic performance, family sleep health, and behavioural sleep interventions. Through interdisciplinary research and education, the laboratory advances understanding of sleep’s role in child development, wellbeing, learning, and quality of life.
The Surrey Sleep Research Centre (SSRC) at the University of Surrey investigates the biological mechanisms that regulate sleep, circadian rhythms, and human performance. Research interests include sleep-wake regulation, light exposure, ageing, shift work, sleep deprivation, and the molecular consequences of disrupted sleep. Through laboratory, clinical, and translational research, the centre contributes to understanding how sleep and circadian health influence cognition, metabolism, wellbeing, and performance while supporting the development of evidence-based approaches to sleep and circadian disorders.
The Sleep Network at the University of Birmingham is an interdisciplinary research initiative based within the Centre for Human Brain Health. Research interests include sleep and circadian rhythms, brain health, cognition, ageing, sleep deprivation, neuroimaging, and biomarkers of cognitive decline. Supported by advanced sleep laboratory facilities, researchers investigate the effects of sleep on neurological, psychological, and physical health. Through collaborative and translational research, the network contributes to improving understanding of sleep across the lifespan.
Based within the University of Cambridge Department of Medicine and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, this research program investigates sleep, cognition, consciousness, and neurodegenerative disease. Research includes Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, sleep architecture, executive function, decision-making, and sleep disruption. Through neuroimaging, clinical and translational research, the program advances understanding of sleep changes during neurological disease while supporting improved diagnosis and treatment.
The Sleep and Brain Research Unit (SBRU) at the University of East Anglia investigates the relationships between sleep, brain health, ageing, and dementia. Research focuses on sleep quality, circadian rhythms, cognitive function, Alzheimer’s disease, and the neurological effects of sleep disruption. Through laboratory and clinical research, the unit advances understanding of sleep’s role in healthy cognitive ageing and brain disease.
