📰A proud alumni moment: Dr Alex Rawcliffe, an alumnus of our Sleep Medicine MSc, has published a protocol for a prospective cohort study exploring sleep disorder symptoms and their associations with mental and menstrual health among UK Service Personnel.

🎓We’re particularly pleased to see this work progress, as the foundations of the protocol were developed during Alex’s MSc dissertation with us, supervised by Dr Sofia Pereira. It’s always rewarding to see the knowledge and research skills developed on the programme taken forward into further research addressing important questions about sleep and health. We look forward to seeing the findings from the study and congratulate Dr Rawcliffe and the wider research team on this milestone!

ℹ️Great to see the result of our team's collaboration with the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford informing work by Google Research for their Fitbit and Pixel Watch devices!

⌚We previously shared this publication (see below), which revisited the scoring of slow wave (N3) sleep. Google Research recently adapted the methodology from the paper to relabel training and evaluation data used for Google's updated AI sleep staging models for wearable devices.

It’s great to see fundamental sleep physiology research informing consumer sleep technology!
