The Sleep Research Society (SRS) is excited to announce its most recently published Public Education Paper titled “Why We Need Sleep: How Sleep Loss Affects Alertness and Performance” by Dr. Christopher W. Jones, Marc Kaizi-Lutu, and Mathias Basner. This insightful resource covers the recommended amount of sleep, explores how sleep loss impacts behavioral alertness and performance, and provides tips on how we can improve our behavioral alertness.

Public education and outreach is important to the SRS. The SRS has published public education pieces on various sleep and health topics.
