Overview

Philip R. Gehrman is affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. Their research spans multiple areas within psychology and neuroscience, with a focus on sleep and related disorders. This work has contributed to several subfields including experimental and cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience, endocrine and autonomic systems, psychiatry and mental health, and clinical psychology.

The main topics explored by Gehrman involve sleep and wakefulness research, circadian rhythm and melatonin, sleep and work-related fatigue, mental health research topics, obstructive sleep apnea research, and bipolar disorder and treatment.

Gehrman has a notable record of publications in various scientific venues. Frequent publication outlets include SLEEP, bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Affective Disorders, The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, and Biological Psychiatry. These venues reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the research, combining clinical, psychological, and physiological approaches to sleep-related conditions.

Their collaborative network is composed of frequent co-authors such as Katherine E. Miller, Jennifer Goldschmied, Elaine M. Boland, Janeese Brownlow, and Olivia Larson, reflecting ongoing teamwork in advancing research on sleep and mental health.

Recent papers authored or co-authored by Gehrman demonstrate a breadth of focus within sleep research. These include the 2020 study on the effects of digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia on insomnia severity published in The Lancet Digital Health, the 2021 article on sleep classification from wrist-worn accelerometer data using random forests appearing in Scientific Reports, and a 2021 systematic review and meta-analysis on the heritability of sleep duration and quality in Sleep Medicine Reviews. Further contributions include a 2023 publication on insomnia treatment and depression prevention in SLEEP and a 2022 paper titled "Insomnia in the Older Adult" published in Sleep Medicine Clinics.
