Title:
Sleep problems in Isolated Confined and Extreme Environment - a story of latitude or lived experience or physiology
Agreement Number:
25HLSDM10
Agreement Value:
$75,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jul 15, 2025 - Jan 15, 2027
Description:
Leveraging data from over 20 Antarctic campaigns and a control study in an Arctic community, the research team proposes to conduct a comprehensive study aimed at unravelling the complex interplay of factors that impact sleep in isolate confined extreme environments and to examine fatigue and fatigue prediction in this context, which would support the developing potential countermeasures for health risks in human spaceflight as well as potential performance-enhancing measures. By applying Earth-based analogs, the study will provide insights directly relevant to the risks of future Canadian investigations on the International Space Station or Lunar Gateway.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
