is a Professor of Psychology at 看片视频 Her research looks at how sleep deprivation has consequences for our health and daytime functioning. Reut Gruber, PhD, is examining the association between sleep and attention in infants, toddlers, children and adolescents, the role of sleep in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the genetics of sleep.

Treatment of sleep problems may improve the cognitive functioning and regulation of behavior of these children. Reut Gruber is testing this hypothesis, with the aim to demonstrate a positive impact of sleep on the children鈥檚 concentration and behavior. She is also involved with the Douglas鈥� sleep intervention programs and the day camp for children with ADHD.
