There are multiple theories as to why we sleep. The Frank-Wisden lab aims to understand:

1) What circuitries sense the inexorable drive to sleep when we are sleep-deprived (sleep homeostasis), and once initiated, how is sleep maintained?

2) Do sedative drugs promote these restorative sleep pathways?

3) Does sleep promote the clearance of waste metabolites?
