Clocks & Sleep, Vol. 6, Pages 234-245: Neighborhood Light at Night and Noise Levels, and Long-Term Sleep Trajectories in the Southern Community Cohort Study
While light at night (LAN) and noise levels have been linked to suboptimal sleep outcomes, little is known about the link between these factors and long-term suboptimal sleep trajectories. The current study examined the association of neighborhood...

Clocks & Sleep, Vol. 6, Pages 211-233: No Benefit in Memory Performance after Nocturnal Memory Reactivation Coupled with Theta-tACS
Targeted memory reactivation (TMR) is an effective technique to enhance sleep-associated memory consolidation. The successful reactivation of memories by external reminder cues is typically accompanied by an event-related increase in theta oscilla...

Clocks & Sleep, Vol. 6, Pages 114-128: Power Analysis for Human Melatonin Suppression Experiments
In humans, the nocturnal secretion of melatonin by the pineal gland is suppressed by ocular exposure to light. In the laboratory, melatonin suppression is a biomarker for this neuroendocrine pathway. Recent work has found that individuals differ s...
