Research Focus
Dr. Allison G Harvey's lab focuses on understanding and improving sleep and circadian functioning in midlife and older adults, as well as in adolescents with evening chronotypes (night-owls). The lab investigates innovative treatments that enhance patient memory for sleep interventions to boost treatment adherence and outcomes. They also explore habit-based interventions to promote better sleep health behaviors among youth, particularly targeting those at risk for various health complications.
