The Simons Sleep Project investigates sleep patterns and challenges in people with autism and related neurodevelopmental conditions.
The Simons Sleep Project (SSP) is an open-science data resource intended to accelerate research into sleep and daily behaviors in autism. This project used wearable and nearable devices to record extensive behavioral and neurophysiological data directly from participants in their home environment over multiple days and nights. Parent questionnaires, daily sleep diaries and whole exome DNA sequencing data are also available for all participants.
All data collected through SSP is open source and accessible to approved researchers via SFARI Base.
