Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Circadian rhythm
  • Psychiatry

Circadian rhythm, Melatonin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Neuroscience are his primary areas of study. His Circadian rhythm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wakefulness, Light therapy and Audiology. His Wakefulness research incorporates elements of Alertness and Anesthesia.

His work carried out in the field of Melatonin brings together such families of science as Advanced sleep phase disorder, Circadian clock, Rhythm and Endogeny. His research integrates issues of Delayed sleep phase, Sleep disorder and Shift work in his study of Internal medicine. As part of the same scientific family, Steven W. Lockley usually focuses on Endocrinology, concentrating on Nap and intersecting with Sleep onset.

His most cited work include:

  • Effect of reducing interns' work hours on serious medical errors in intensive care units. (1403 citations)
  • The Critical Care Safety Study: The incidence and nature of adverse events and serious medical errors in intensive care. (710 citations)
  • Effect of Reducing Interns' Weekly Work Hours on Sleep and Attentional Failures (674 citations)

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

Steven W. Lockley focuses on Circadian rhythm, Melatonin, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Audiology. His Circadian rhythm study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Alertness, Rhythm and Wakefulness. His work in Alertness addresses issues such as Shift work, which are connected to fields such as Actigraphy.

His Melatonin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep disorder, Sleep onset, Bedtime and Entrainment. His studies deal with areas such as Oncology and Bright light as well as Internal medicine. Steven W. Lockley has included themes like Sleep deprivation, Psychomotor vigilance task, Vigilance, Illuminance and Sleep Stages in his Audiology study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Circadian rhythm (68.51%)
  • Melatonin (63.85%)
  • Internal medicine (43.44%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Melatonin (63.85%)
  • Circadian rhythm (68.51%)
  • Alertness (29.45%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Melatonin, Circadian rhythm, Alertness, Internal medicine and Audiology. His Melatonin research includes themes of Hormone, Follicular phase, Luteal phase and Sleep in non-human animals, Sleep onset. His Circadian rhythm study is related to the wider topic of Neuroscience.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance and Shift work. His Internal medicine study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Endocrinology. His study looks at the relationship between Audiology and fields such as Sleep deprivation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • High sensitivity and interindividual variability in the response of the human circadian system to evening light. (71 citations)
  • A unified model of melatonin, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, and sleep dynamics. (56 citations)
  • A unified model of melatonin, 6-sulfatoxymelatonin, and sleep dynamics. (56 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry
  • Circadian rhythm

Steven W. Lockley mainly investigates Melatonin, Internal medicine, Circadian rhythm, Shift work and Endocrinology. The Melatonin study combines topics in areas such as Ophthalmology, Retinal, Urine, Chronotype and Physiology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells and Retinitis pigmentosa in addition to Circadian rhythm.

His Shift work study combines topics in areas such as Morning, Audiology, Alertness, Rhythm and Confidence interval. Steven W. Lockley studied Alertness and Sleep deprivation that intersect with Luteal phase. His work on Circadian phase as part of general Endocrinology research is frequently linked to Chemistry, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
