The following Article Collection/ Thematic Series is currently open for submissions:
Bridging Bench to Bedside and Beyond: Advancing Sleep and Circadian Science for Precision Health Across All Ages
Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Bridging Bench to Bedside and Beyond: Advancing Sleep and Circadian Science for Precision Health Across All Ages", organized by Guest Advisors Dr. Azizi Seixas, Dr. Carolina Scaramutti and Dr. Mairead Moloney in Nature and Science of Sleep.
Sleep and circadian rhythms are fundamental to human health and well-being, influencing cognitive function, metabolic regulation, cardiovascular health, mental health, and immune function. Disruptions in sleep and circadian biology have been linked to a wide range of diseases, from neurodegenerative disorders and cardiometabolic conditions to mood disorders and impaired developmental trajectories in children. Yet, sleep and circadian health remain underutilized as modifiable targets in preventive medicine, clinical care, and public health initiatives.
This Article Collection will focus on translational sleep and circadian health across the lifespan, highlighting research that spans developmental, clinical, and population health perspectives. We seek contributions that integrate basic science, clinical applications, and public health strategies to address sleep and circadian disruptions from infancy through older adulthood. The goal is to foster a lifespan approach to sleep health, identifying key windows for intervention, personalized treatment strategies, and innovative translational solutions that bridge laboratory research with real-world applications.
From molecular insights into circadian rhythms to population-level interventions for sleep equity, this issue will showcase groundbreaking research that leverages multi-disciplinary methodologies, digital health tools, and precision medicine approaches to tackle sleep-related challenges at every stage of life.
Understanding translational sleep and circadian health across the lifespan is critical for advancing precision medicine, public health, and clinical care. Sleep and circadian rhythms are foundational to nearly every aspect of human health—affecting brain function, cardiovascular health, metabolic regulation, immune response, and mental well-being. However, sleep remains underrecognized as a modifiable risk factor and is often excluded from mainstream healthcare strategies.
This Article Collection will bridge the gap between basic science, clinical applications, and public health interventions, bringing together experts across neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, and digital health to explore novel, data-driven, technology-enhanced solutions for sleep-related disorders. By integrating AI, digital biomarkers, and multi-modal precision health approaches, this research will redefine sleep medicine and improve health outcomes across diverse populations and life stages. Ultimately, addressing sleep and circadian health inequities can lead to more effective, scalable, and personalized interventions, making healthcare more proactive, equitable, and transformative.
Sleep and circadian health are critical yet underappreciated determinants of overall well-being, influencing neurodevelopment, cognitive aging, cardiometabolic health, mental health, and disease resilience across the lifespan. Advances in translational sleep research now offer unprecedented opportunities to integrate basic science, clinical medicine, public health, and digital health technologies to improve sleep-related outcomes for diverse populations.
This Article Collection seeks cutting-edge contributions that bridge multiple disciplines, highlighting collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches to advancing sleep health. We encourage original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and methodological papers exploring topics such as:
- Novel biomarkers & digital health tools for sleep and circadian rhythm assessment
- AI-driven and precision medicine approaches to sleep health interventions
- Cross-disciplinary research networks integrating neurology, psychiatry, cardiology, and public health
- Sleep inequities & social determinants of health in marginalized communities
By bringing together leading experts, this collection will advance the field toward equitable, scalable, and personalized sleep health solutions that can transform clinical and public health practices worldwide.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in Nature and Science of Sleep?
- It is an open access journal which means that your paper is available to anyone in the world to download for free directly from the Dove website.
- Unlike many traditional journals, your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space. We are an electronic journal and there are no limits on the number or size of the papers we can publish.
- The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. Nature and Science of Sleep has a quicker turnaround time than this. Generally peer review is complete within 3-4 weeks and the editor’s decision within 2-14 days of this. It is therefore very rare to have to wait more than 6 weeks for first editorial decision.
- Many authors have found that our peer reviewer’s comments substantially add to their final papers.
To recover our editorial and production costs and continue to provide our content at no cost to readers we charge authors or their institution an article publishing charge.
