Center for Translational Sleep and Circadian Sciences / University of Miami

Miami, Florida, United States, North America

The Center for Translational Sleep and Circadian Sciences at the University of Miami supports multidisciplinary research examining sleep, circadian rhythms, population health, and health disparities. Research interests include sleep equity, cardiovascular health, cognitive ageing, environmental influences on sleep, and circadian disruption. Through clinical, epidemiological, and community-based research, the centre contributes to understanding sleep and health outcomes.

Division of Sleep Medicine and the Penn Sleep Centers

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States, North America

The University of Pittsburgh supports multidisciplinary research examining relationships between sleep, circadian rhythms, mental health, ageing, and chronic disease. Research interests include psychiatric sleep medicine, depression, cognitive ageing, cardiovascular health, and behavioural sleep interventions. Through clinical and translational research, investigators study how sleep influences physical and mental wellbeing across the lifespan and contributes to healthy ageing.

Fatigue Countermeasures Laboratory / NASA Ames Research Center

Moffett Field, California, United States, North America

The Fatigue Countermeasures Laboratory at NASA Ames Research Center conducts research examining the effects of sleep, fatigue, circadian rhythms, and workload on human performance and safety. Research interests include sleep deprivation, alertness, shift work, fatigue risk management, aviation safety, and operational performance in high-demand environments. The program contributes to understanding how sleep and circadian factors influence performance.

Harvard University

Boston, Massachusetts, United States, North America

Harvard University utilizes its Division of Sleep Medicine to coordinate research across affiliated hospitals and laboratories. Research interests include sleep deprivation, shift work, circadian rhythms, sleep disorders, and their effects on health, cognition, performance, and safety. Through clinical, laboratory, and population-based research, Harvard investigators contribute to understanding the health and societal consequences of insufficient sleep and circadian disruption.

Johns Hopkins University

Baltimore, Maryland, United States, North America

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.

Mayo Clinic Center for Sleep Medicine

Rochester, Minnesota, United States, North America

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.

Sleep and Neuroimaging Research / University of California, Berkeley

Berkeley, California, United States, North America

The University of California, Berkeley conducts interdisciplinary sleep research focused on cognition, brain health, ageing, and neuroimaging. Research includes sleep deprivation, memory consolidation, emotional regulation, cognitive performance, and neurodegenerative disease. Using advanced neuroimaging and behavioural methods, investigators examine how sleep influences brain function across the lifespan. The program advances understanding of sleep’s role in cognitive health, healthy ageing, and neurological wellbeing.

Sleep Disorders Center / Cleveland Clinic

Cleveland, Ohio, United States, North America

The Sleep Disorders Center at Cleveland Clinic supports multidisciplinary clinical care, education, and research in sleep medicine. Research interests include sleep-disordered breathing, insomnia, cardiovascular health, behavioural sleep medicine, and digital approaches to sleep disorder management. Through clinical investigation, translational research, and collaboration across neurology, pulmonology, psychology, and related disciplines, the program contributes to understanding the impact of sleep disorders on health outcomes while supporting the development of evidence-based approaches to diagnosis, treatment, and long-term patient care.
