Sleep 2.0: on to new knowledge about human sleep
Sleep is important for our health, but we do not yet fully understand how it works. In this project, Martin Dresler studies sleep in a new way. The project will use new concepts and methods to better study sleep. In doing so, the project uses wearable devices and help of citizen scientists to collect a lot of data and create an infrastructure to collect this data.
The goal is to better understand how sleep works, both in one night and over multiple nights. This could ultimately help to improve sleep and health, which is good for both people and society.
