This summer we researchers at the Mailman School of Public Health are conducting a research study to learn about how the environmental conditions in the bedroom – especially heat – affect sleep quality. We are looking for Columbia University faculty, research and administrative staff, and graduate students who do not have or rarely use air conditioning to take part in this study.

The study duration is 20 days. During this time we will monitor your sleep quality as well as the environmental conditions of your bedroom using unobtrusive loggers and surveys.

Participation is voluntary and there is no compensation. But you will receive a summary report and learn about your sleep and the environmental conditions of your bedroom.

Interested? Get in touch with us at ehs.sleep@cumc.columbia.edu<mailto:ehs.sleep@cumc.columbia.edu> or call (212) 305-5342.
