The Sleep and Chronophysiology Laboratory

The Sleep and Chronophysiology Laboratory at the University of Michigan is a research facility that investigates sleep and biological rhythm regulation from childhood through adulthood using electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure brain activity. We have a strong interest in the biological risk factors for depression and how major depressive disorder affects the sleep of both children and adults.

Insomnia and biological rhythm problems are a focus of our clinical service. Most of our studies require a minimum of two overnight sleep studies. Our laboratory is equipped with 8 bedrooms, shower facilities, kitchen with microwave and stove-top, and a very comfortable environment conducive for sleeping away from home.
