About

Adam Spira is a Professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA. His research primarily focuses on the intersection of sleep and cognitive health, particularly in older adults, as evidenced by his recent articles on sleep medication use, the role of sleep in dementia prevention, and sleep disturbances associated with cognitive decline. He also investigates the implications of sleep on broader health outcomes, such as physical activity and neurodegeneration.
