Sleep has become a major health concern across America and on Feb. 20, Dr. Cara Palmer, director of MSU’s Sleep and Development Lab and co-director of the MSU Sleep Research Lab, will present “Sleep on It: Connections between Sleep and Mental Health.”
Her 15 years of research focuses on how sleep patterns relate to a person’s susceptibility to mental health problems and how sleep patterns develop.
Palmer completed her doctoral training in Life Span Developmental Psychology at West Virginia University and a post-doctoral fellowship in Clinical Child Psychology at the University of Houston.
She has received awards and grants for research from organizations including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Sleep Research Society and World Sleep Society.
Topics of her expertise include sleep health, effects of poor sleep, signs of insufficient sleep and sleep and mental health.
