Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Cognition

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Circadian rhythm, Audiology, Psychiatry, Sleep onset and Endocrinology. His study in Circadian rhythm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Melatonin and Morning. His research in Audiology intersects with topics in Sleep deprivation, Vigilance, Alertness, Sleep disorder and Nap.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Anesthesia, Insomnia and Polysomnography. As a part of the same scientific study, Leon Lack usually deals with the Sleep onset, concentrating on Actigraphy and frequently concerns with Advanced sleep phase disorder, Motor activity, Sleep time, Physical therapy and Family history. He interconnects Post-hoc analysis and Internal medicine in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology.

His most cited work include:

  • A brief afternoon nap following nocturnal sleep restriction: which nap duration is most recuperative? (176 citations)
  • The relationship between insomnia and body temperatures. (154 citations)
  • Effect of light wavelength on suppression and phase delay of the melatonin rhythm. (150 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Leon Lack focuses on Insomnia, Audiology, Circadian rhythm, Melatonin and Sleep in non-human animals. His Insomnia research integrates issues from Sleep disorder, Cognition, Sleep apnea, Obstructive sleep apnea and Physical therapy. His work deals with themes such as Vigilance, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Sleep onset, Wakefulness and Polysomnography, which intersect with Audiology.

His Sleep onset research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Actigraphy and Sleep diary. His studies deal with areas such as Morning, Delayed sleep phase, Psychiatry and Rhythm as well as Circadian rhythm. His Melatonin research incorporates elements of Anesthesia and Bedtime.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Insomnia (39.11%)
  • Audiology (37.13%)
  • Circadian rhythm (31.68%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Insomnia (39.11%)
  • Audiology (37.13%)
  • Sleep onset (22.77%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Leon Lack spends much of his time researching Insomnia, Audiology, Sleep onset, Sleep in non-human animals and Circadian rhythm. The various areas that he examines in his Insomnia study include Randomized controlled trial, Cognition, Sleep apnea, Obstructive sleep apnea and Physical therapy. His work carried out in the field of Audiology brings together such families of science as Wakefulness, Quantitative electroencephalography, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Non-rapid eye movement sleep.

The Sleep onset study combines topics in areas such as Stimulus, Actigraphy and Polysomnography. Leon Lack has researched Circadian rhythm in several fields, including Melatonin, Psychiatry and Rhythm. His study looks at the relationship between Melatonin and fields such as Bedtime, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prevalence of Circadian Misalignment and Its Association with Depressive Symptoms in Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. (51 citations)
  • Prevalence of Circadian Misalignment and Its Association with Depressive Symptoms in Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. (51 citations)
  • Developing a successful treatment for co-morbid insomnia and sleep apnoea. (45 citations)
