New paper!!! 🎉 I am very happy to share our paper published in JCPP Advances! 🎉 Our findings suggest that targeting specific sleep problems, such as bedtime anxiety, may improve interventions for children’s emotional and behavioural difficulties. acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Huge congratulations to @alinamarinca.bsky.social on behalf of us all at @sleep-rhul.bsky.social We’re delighted for you!

On #InternationalWomensDay, a reminder that sex differences in sleep emerge from puberty onward — yet women’s sleep remains chronically under‑researched. Sharing an excellent deep‑dive on women’s sleep 👇 @alice-gregory.bsky.social @jakketamminen.bsky.social pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Cats prefer sleeping on their left side, because it optimises lateralised brain function on waking so they are ready to make mischief. My cat, however, sleeps belly up. Always somewhere toasty and inconvenient www.sciencefocus.com/science/the-...

Adult sleep GWAS-derived polygenic scores demonstrated comparable associations with corresponding sleep phenotypes in #Adolescents, suggesting genetic influences on sleep persist across developmental stages. ja.ma/4tT2274

Genetic variants identified in adult #GWAS may be relevant to #sleep phenotypes in #adolescents. Great work by Katie Lewis! @sleep-rhul.bsky.social @rhulpsychology.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
