Short description
Our team examines the role of sleep in childhood and adolescent development. Adolescence is a critical period in development, characterised by rapid biological, cognitive, emotional and social changes. Interacting with these processes, is sleep, which is also in flux during this period. We use a multimodal approach to understand how sleep supports cognitive, emotional, and brain development in health and disease.
