Overview

Alfred J. Lewy is affiliated with Oregon Health & Science University in the United States. They focus their research primarily within the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with specific contributions to experimental and cognitive psychology, endocrine and autonomic systems, and cognitive neuroscience.

The main topics covered in Lewy's work include sleep and related disorders, circadian rhythm and melatonin, and sleep and wakefulness research. These areas are reflected in their recent publications and indicate a strong focus on understanding the biological and psychological mechanisms underlying sleep patterns and disorders.

Among their recent papers are the following:

  • Behaviorally and environmentally induced non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder in sighted patients, 2021, Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine
  • Mood correlates with circadian alignment in healthy individuals, 2023, Sleep Health

Lewy has published in journals such as the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine and Sleep Health. These venues align with their research on sleep and circadian rhythms.

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Lewy include:

  • Jonathan S. Emens
  • Melissa A. St. Hilaire
  • Elizabeth B. Klerman
  • Daniel J. Brotman
  • Amber Lin
