The Providence Sleep Research Interest Group (PSRIG) was formed in 1990 and provides an opportunity for scientists and clinicians to interact on a monthly basis for the scholarly exchange of ideas and information pertaining to the area of sleep and circadian rhythms. Individuals from the surrounding areas of Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Massachusetts participate in the monthly meetings, and we sometimes have visits and presentations from colleagues from other parts of the country. The atmosphere of the meetings is intimate and informal, yet sleep-sophisticated. PSRIG meetings are held one Tuesday a month beginning at 1745 hours (light dinner provided). Presentations represent the diverse backgrounds and approaches employed by PSRIG members in their study of sleep and chronobiological issues, including basic and clinical research. If you would like to be added to the PSRIG mailing list, please email Katie Sharkey at ksharkey@lifespan.org. Directions to the Sleep Lab may be found by clicking on the telephone icon on the top right corner of any page on this website.
