Dr. Ari Shechter conducts laboratory-based experiments, observational studies, and clinical interventions to understand the biobehavioral pathways by which sleep and circadian rhythms influence health. His work examines how pathophysiologic states or behaviors associated with disrupted sleep and/or circadian rhythms, and their treatment, affect cardiometabolic and psychological outcomes.
