The sleep consortium takes a bold new approach to sleep research putting the patient in the center of its efforts. This initiative demands that the patient be the driver of new research considerations, have ownership of their own data, and serve as an invaluable partner to researchers internationally. This novel approach will leverage advanced technologies to further our understanding of sleep wake disorders by starting with the debilitating symptom of excessive daytime sleepiness and identify all the faces of patients who are suffering with it to better define the roads that lead to the development, consequence and association with excessive daytime sleepiness.
