The University of Chicago has played an important role in the development of modern sleep science and continues to support research examining the relationships between sleep, metabolism, and health. Research interests include sleep deprivation, sleep-disordered breathing, obesity, insulin resistance, diabetes, and endocrine function. Through clinical and translational research, the centre contributes to understanding how sleep influences metabolic health and chronic disease while investigating the potential benefits of sleep-based interventions for improving health outcomes.
