Research Facilities

Appleton SleepThe Appleton Institute is one of only a few research institutes in the world with the necessary facilities, expertise and experience to conduct multiple-day, live-in studies to assess the impact of sleep restriction on metabolic function.

The Institute’s new premises have a state-of-the-art accommodation suite that houses four participants concurrently, each with their own bedroom, lounge and bathroom. The suite, configured like a serviced apartment, also has a shared kitchen, dining room, laundry, and gym, so participants can reside in comfort during studies.

The suite is equipped with technologies that permit continuous monitoring of measures related to the function of the human sleep/wake, neurobehavioural, metabolic, and endocrine systems. Facilities also include an advanced interactive rail simulator, and a neurocognitive testing laboratory.
