\r\n\t\n\n

The Sleep and Performance Research Center (SPRC) at Washington State University is a coalition of basic and applied research laboratories aiming to understand the neurobiology of sleep and sleep loss, and the effect of sleep loss on metabolism, immune function, cognitive performance and behavior, all with the aim of ensuring adequate, recuperative sleep and\/or mitigating the effects of inadequate sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mission Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To be the leader in research on sleep and biological rhythms, and their impact on performance and health, by integrating from the molecular level to real-world operations.<\/p>\n\n\n

A simple test developed by at WSU could eventually allow astronauts and others in round-the-clock occupations to monitor their biological rhythms in just minutes. The interdisciplinary team behind the test included researchers across medicine, pharmacy, and engineering. <\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/article>\n
