Department Overview:
Sleep has vast implications for public health. Millions of people complain of sleep problems, from insomnia to excessive daytime sleepiness, from chronic fatigue to irritability associated with unsatisfactory sleep. Common sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea, are increasing in prevalence and are implicated in diabetes, heart disease, obesity and a number of other chronic illnesses. Sleep deprivation has high societal costs, too, from driving and work-related accidents to chronically poor performance. A large segment of the population is treated routinely with drugs aimed at improving sleep or at maintaining wakefulness, but such treatments are hampered by our ignorance concerning the functions of sleep and the mechanisms by which sleep problems contribute to morbidity and mortality.
