Sociology of Sleep Group
Sociologists at the University of Surrey have been pioneering empirical research on the sociology of sleep since 2001.
Colleagues in the department are developing work at the interface of health and illness and crime and criminal justice. This work includes studies of prisoner wellbeing and trajectories of use of 'legal highs'.
Our research
We have been carrying out research on sleep for nearly 20 years and the Sociology of Sleep Group has published widely on ageing, sleep and gender.
We provide a supportive and intellectually stimulating research environment, with a number of students currently undertaking their doctoral research within the group.
Sociology at Surrey has a long history of health research.
Projects have included a US/UK comparison of clinical decision-making of primary care physicians (Arber with John McKinlay), a study of sleep and ageing women (Arber and Skene), dyadic analysis of couples' health (Meadows) and numerous activities surrounding 'recovery'.
