Sleep problems and disorders afflict over half of the adult population in the Western world, including Canada, with huge costs for individuals and society as a whole. Inadequate sleep has been linked to a wide variety of adverse consequences to health and quality of life. Despite this, research has thus far failed to provide a definitive answer to some very basic and important questions, including "how much sleep do we need?", "can we adapt to less sleep?", "what are the physiological mechanisms mediating the consequences of chronic sleep debt?" The proposed research is intended to work toward an answer to these questions.

睡眠问题和紊乱困扰着包括加拿大在内的西方世界一半以上的成年人，给个人和整个社会带来了巨大的损失。睡眠不足与健康和生活质量的多种不良后果有关。尽管如此，迄今为止的研究仍未能为一些非常基本和重要的问题提供明确的答案，包括“我们需要多少睡眠？”、“我们能适应睡眠不足吗？”、“介导慢性睡眠债后果的生理机制是什么？”拟议的研究旨在回答这些问题。
