Sleep, sleep disorders and their treatment
I have specific research interests in the aetiology and management of sleep disturbance and the interaction between sleep disturbance and mental health.
My research is funded by The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Health Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR), Efficacy and Mechanisms Evaluation (EME) Programme and the Wellcome Trust.
