Improved Sleep Health (ISH)

The Improved Sleep Health (ISH) research project aims to comprehensively characterise sleep health in individuals living with a neurological condition. Comprehensive sleep health characterisation for individuals living with a neurological condition has not been undertaken in Australia and is the first step towards developing individualised interventions. ISH works with not-for-profit organisations, allied health practitioners, medical practitioners, carers, coordinators and their clients to create a triage system for addressing clients' sleep and fatigue issues.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Sleep – Neurological Study (LES-N)

Study focus

LES-N is a study looking at the long-term changes to sleep health in individuals diagnosed with a neurological condition and its impact on recovery, health status, activities of daily living and quality of life. This study will take place at Royal Perth Hospital for individuals recently diagnosed with a neurological condition, such as stroke, functional neurological disorder or traumatic brain injury.

LES-N aims to:

  • Evaluate sleep health in people diagnosed with a neurological condition in the hospital setting.
  • Evaluate sleep environment and its impact on sleep health in people diagnosed with a neurological condition in the hospital setting.
  • Evaluate associations between sleep health and recovery, ADLs and quality of life outcomes in people diagnosed with a neurological condition in the hospital setting.
  • Evaluate longitudinal changes in sleep health in people diagnosed with a neurological condition and associations with recovery, ADLs and quality of life outcomes.
