By framing sleep as a collective phenomenon, this work aims to open new avenues for understanding how societal context influences sleep health, with potential implications for both research and public health. We are excited to share this piece and get the conversation going!
In this piece, my we explore how large-scale events can shape attention, emotion, and daily routines in ways that may systematically influence when—and how well—people sleep.
Has an exciting game kept you up late? Ever felt the effects of DST? You're not alone. We’re excited to share our work introducing the concept of “public sleep,” which considers sleep not only as a solo behavior, but as something that may emerge at a population level

Hmmm... Maybe the CFP shoulda gone with the last team that beat IU... 🤔
Got out and voted for @wutrain.bsky.social today and am reaping the benefits of that good karma this evening!

Been awhile since i bumped this. Love scrolling thru the feeds (and wouldn't be surprised if there is an easier way to do this now)
Fuck these fascists. Keep writing letters. #Standupforscience!

Any reason why Grants.gov passwords are expiring every 60 days aside from being wildly annoying, esp given the criteria to generate new ones?
Fresh results now in bioRxiv! 🎉 We know about the function of NREM sleep for overnight memory consolidation. But what about REM sleep? We found that in aging, slow delta waves can intrude phasic REM periods, and this, is associated with worse overnight consolidation 🧠 (1/5) doi.org/10.1101/2025...
I volunteered for this.
I don't exactly have time, but... my life is enriched whenever I find new ways to productively procrastinate on bullshit that doesn't matter, using an overcommitment that DOES matter.

Applying for graduate studies in psychology and neuroscience can be challenging and confusing. Frequently, applicants have some support from mentors at their home institutions, but sometimes applicants are looking for additional reassurance, feedback, or perspectives on the processes.
LOL the 15 forms i have to fill out just to get reimbursed for conference travel would like a word....
One thing I learned as a father is just how ridiculous low the bar is set for us culturally. Literally just holding our child gets profuse praise while our female partners would get judged for not doing enough while doing the same thing.
#SleepPeeps... If my students and I did a study on #dreaming, and tried to recruit participants on Bluesky, would you do it?
Would involve 30min Zoom meeting and recording your dreams + answering lengthy surveys across a week or so. Small $$ compensation.

My wife bought me and my daughter tickets to a movie for Father's Day and of course my daughter decided it needed to be a formal affair. Best dressed in our row at the very least!
Happy Dad's Day! 🥰🫶🌈
Even the Marriott knows we got a little more to go... Happy Wednesday #SLEEP2025!
Unihemispheric sleep has its limits, a new study in birds:

I made some tools for our (MANY!) dream reports. I am making them openly available for others to use! First DreamProcessor github.com/SarahSchoch/..., a simple tool to preprocess dream reports (clean, anonymize, split) that integrates semiautomatic approaches. #sleeppeeps @dresler.bsky.social
😭😭😭
I still get so proud when I hear #UCSF mentioned at a conference. Listening to Dr. Sonia Ancoli-Israel talk about her career trajectory, mentees, colleagues--she trained at UCSF. Not a dry eye in the room at #SLEEP2025.
Looking forward to sharing our recent work at #SLEEP2025! Circadian Medicine session starting in about an hour and I’ll be discussing approaches to timing cancer immunotherapy. See you there!
So many great talks at #SLEEP2025! If you missed my poster today, you can stop by tomorrow for my next one!

How do astronauts sleep in space? Learning right now at #SLEEP2025 from #NASA scientist. Talking position (tethered to wall) fluid distribution (face gets puffy), noise (printer going, communications), temperature, air quality (CO2), lighting (eye masks to block light), workload/schedule issues.
He's gotta catch me first 😭
