Interests

Sleep and sleep deprivation; Communication, with particular emphasis on the development, production and evaluation of media-based educational programs designed to promote cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral change

My research interests focus on sleep deprivation and on communication of educational messages through live presentations and the media.

My work on sleep deprivation involves reviewing the literature and developing case history materials regarding the psychophysiology of sleep, including the architecture of nocturnal sleep, sleep disorders, sleep and performance, and sleep hygiene. I have a particular interest in sleep requirements and performance with regard to students, executives and those who are involved in the transportation industry. I have written a book and many magazine articles for the layperson on sleep strategies and performance. Undergraduates participated in developing reviews of the literature, as co-authors of journal articles, and in preparation of the book manuscript.

I spend a considerable amount of time producing audio/visual materials for educational presentations and on making educational documentaries for national television. These materials, presentations and programs have focused on such varied topics as new educational methods, outstanding teachers, mental retardation, drunk driving, perception, psychiatry, child development, sleep disorders and sleep and performance. Undergraduate and graduate students are trained in the preparation of educational materials and film treatments using psychological learning theory and social psychology, in video production and in video editing. Depending on the nature of the work, students are given course credit or are hired as assistants.
