Stanford University Sleep Research Center

The Stanford University Sleep Research Center studies how the brain and body regulate sleep and wakefulness, aiming to understand sleep disorders and improve health. Researchers use advanced tools like sleep labs, brain imaging, and monitoring devices to analyze sleep patterns, brain activity, and hormonal changes. Their work helps identify causes of conditions such as insomnia, sleep apnea, and narcolepsy. The center also investigates how sleep impacts learning, memory, immune function, and overall well-being, contributing to better diagnosis, treatment, and public health guidance related to sleep health.
