Sleep Research

Neurology Department @ HUP

Project Overview

As a Clinical Researcher at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, I collaborated with Dr. Colin Ellis and a team of researchers to investigate the effects of hospital conditions on patient sleep quality. This research recognizes sleep's vital role in patient recovery and aims to identify strategies to improve sleep in hospital environments.

Key Contributions

  • Analysis of hospital environmental factors affecting patient sleep patterns
  • Data collection and statistical analysis of sleep quality metrics
  • Identification of correlations between environmental conditions and recovery outcomes
  • Presentation of preliminary findings to clinical stakeholders

Research Impact

This research has direct implications for improving patient care in hospital settings. By understanding how environmental factors like noise, lighting, and room conditions affect sleep quality, hospitals can implement evidence-based changes to promote better patient recovery. The findings contribute to the growing body of research on sleep medicine and its role in healthcare outcomes.
