Overview

Charmane I. Eastman is affiliated with Rush University Medical Center in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with significant contributions to experimental and cognitive psychology, as well as the endocrine and autonomic systems. Their work also spans cognitive neuroscience, speech and hearing, and public health-related topics.

Eastman's research centers largely on sleep and related disorders, circadian rhythms, and melatonin. Other prominent topics in their body of work include sleep and wakefulness research, work-related fatigue, school health and nursing education, obesity, physical activity, diet, and dietary effects on health.

They have recently published several articles in respected journals, notably:

  • Circadian Phase Advances in Response to Weekend Morning Light in Adolescents With Short Sleep and Late Bedtimes on School Nights (2020, Frontiers in Neuroscience)
  • Extending weeknight sleep of delayed adolescents using weekend morning bright light and evening time management (2022, SLEEP)
  • The forbidden zone for sleep is more robust in adolescents compared to adults (2024, Frontiers in Sleep)
  • 0112 Acute Sleep Restriction and Circadian Misalignment Impairs Attention in High School Students (2023, SLEEP)
  • Extending weeknight sleep duration in late-sleeping adolescents using morning bright light on weekends: a 3-week maintenance study (2024, SLEEP Advances)

Eastman frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including:

  • Stephanie J. Crowley
  • Ieva Misiūnaitė
  • Allison Monterastelli
  • John E. Adams
  • Elaine Poole

Their research is widely disseminated with multiple publications in leading venues such as SLEEP, SLEEP Advances, Frontiers in Neuroscience, and Frontiers in Sleep.
