My research program focuses on the role of insufficient sleep in the development of metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes and obesity. I have extensive experience investigating the relationships between sleep loss and metabolic disruptions utilizing experimental laboratory models in healthy humans, clinical studies in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, and field studies on energy metabolism in individuals at risk for diabetes and obesity.
My NIH COMMONS name is etasali.
