Understanding Sleep in a 24/7 Society
Gregory Belenky, M.D.
Director and Research Professor,
Sleep and Performance Research Initiative
Health Research and Education Center
Washington State University, Spokane
Gregory Belenky's groundbreaking research examines the critical questions of sleep and performance in people going about their everyday lives. The work of Dr. Belenky and his colleagues could change the way we view-and manage-our sleep: as the critical performance resource it really is.
Dr. Belenky is heading studies investigating how sleep restriction affects the performance of professionals in high-stress jobs with long hours and irregular schedules, including police officers and first-year doctors. These studies will break new ground in the study of sleep and performance, uniting the science of sleep and sleep medicine to determine the true impact of sleep restriction on performance and subsequent recovery.
Much of Dr. Belenky's pioneering research was conducted during his years in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, where he served as the director of the Division of Neuroscience at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. Due to that research, the United States Army has changed the way it trains and deploys soldiers in the field today.
Dr. Belenky received his bachelor's degree in psychology from Yale University in 1966 and his medical degree from the Stanford University School of Medicine in 1971. While attending medical school, he worked in the laboratory of Dr. William Dement, the father of sleep medicine. Dr. Belenky completed a residency in psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine in 1975.
