The Cerebra Sleep Project

Researchers at University of Birmingham have partnered with Cerebra to examine how impulsivity interacts with sleep in children with rare genetic syndromes. More specifically, do sleep disturbances increase the likelihood of impulsivity, or does impulsivity lead to sleep disturbances.

Parents and caregivers took part in a telephone interview, followed by a ten-day sleep assessment during which children wore MotionWatches and completed games designed to measure their behaviour.

The study is now closed however if you have any questions, please feel free to contact rxo165@student.bham.ac.uk.
