Sleep for Science

Survey Studies
High school students were a focus of one of our first survey studies of students in the Rhode Island area. The most ambitious of our early survey studies was the "SuperScience" survey of children in grades 4, 5, and 6 throughout the USA. We also performed surveys with college students as we began to establish our laboratory research.
