Psychology of Sleep

This guide pulls together several resources you may find helpful for Dr. Lust's Psychology of Sleep class.

Strategies for searching the literature

In this course, you'll be asked to find recent discoveries in sleep science. One of the best ways to locate this type of information is by reading relevant peer-reviewed and trade journals in the discipline.  You can find this literature by searching a database or by browsing relevant journals. Below you'll find links to some recommended resources, including the APA PsycInfo database and several journals that specifically focus on sleep. 

If you have any trouble using these resources or getting to the full text of articles, please reach out to your librarian, Jaena Alabi, and she'll be more than happy to help!
