Abstracts from our cutting-edge think tank of scientists, engineers, physicians, academic experts, and thought leaders
Sleep Health End of daylight saving and sleep children 4-24 months
This study explores the effects of the change from Daylight Saving Time to Standard Time in children 4-24 months.
Pediatric Health & Wellness Extended tummy time is associated with longer nighttime sleep duration in 4-5 months old infants.
In our study, we investigate whether the amount of tummy time is associated with sleep in infants 4-5 months of age.

This study aimed to identify the main barriers of BSI implementation as perceived by parents, as well as possible solutions to reduce the impact of these barriers. We further aimed to compare paren...
Sleep Health Parents’ Values Shape Parenting Practices and Beliefs that Impact Infant Sleep
This study asked whether parents’ values impacted parenting expectations related to infant sleep. 
Sleep Health Using Auto-Videosomnography to Study the Relation between Sleep and Nightwaking in Infancy
The aim of this study was to test whether auto-videosomnography, which has been shown to be as accurate as actigraphy for documenting infants’ sleep characteristics (Horger, et al., 2021), could ef...
Sleep Health Nocturnal parental involvement in infant sleep is associated with worse parental sleep, but only among fathers
This study investigated the associations between parent nocturnal interventions in infant sleep and parental sleep duration and subjective quality, accounting for infant’s age, infant nocturnal sle...
Sleep Health Partner involvement in infant care at night is associated with better maternal sleep postpartum

Peer-Reviewed Published Studies

Sleep Health Melatonin use in infants and toddlers
The aim of this study was to examine various aspects of melatonin use by caregivers of infants and toddlers in the US.
Pediatric Health & Wellness The feasibility of remote measurement of infant sleep and motor development
The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of two remote data collection methods for studying sleep and motor development in infancy and the relationship between the two.
Sleep Health A preliminary study on the performance of the Nanit auto-videosomnography scoring system against observed video scoring and actigraphy to estimate sleep-wake states in infants.
The goal was to examine the performance of the Nanit auto-videosomnography scoring system as a measure of sleep-wake states in infants compared to observed video scoring and actigraphy.
