The University of Washington supports multidisciplinary research examining the genetic, environmental, and population health determinants of sleep. Research interests include insomnia, sleep-disordered breathing, sleep duration, sleep health epidemiology, and the interaction between genetics and environmental factors. Through collaborations across neurology, pulmonology, psychiatry, and public health, investigators use clinical, epidemiological, and population-based research methods to improve understanding of sleep disorders and their impact on health outcomes while supporting the development of evidence-based prevention and treatment strategies.
