Research Directions: Sleep Psychology will have ceased publication at the end of 2025, and new submissions to the journal are no longer being accepted. All published materials will remain available through the Cambridge University Press platform in perpetuity.
Research Directions: Sleep Psychology is the premier journal for psychologists and sleep researchers whose work aims to answer critical theoretical, methodological, and application-level questions related to the psychology of sleep, dreams, and biological rhythms. Sleep psychology is an emerging, interdisciplinary field dedicated to examining the psychological nature, functions, and mechanisms of sleep, as well as the various psychological factors influenced by sleep, such as emotions, thoughts, behaviours, and mental disorders. The journal will publish questions on topics such as, sleep mentation, the impact of sleep on cognitive, behavioural, and psychosocial functioning, memory consolidation during sleep, the role of sleep in emotional regulation, the relationship between sleep and mental health, psychological aspects of sleep disorders, psychological dimensions of sleep health, and the use of psychological interventions to improve sleep and circadian rhythms. Authors are invited to submit all research outputs including results, analysis, impact papers, datasets, presentations, grant proposals, and much more to this journal and its companion community site.
