My PhD project examines how motivation and sleep interact. I focus on goal-directed behaviour and the energy required to initiate and sustain activities, and how these processes are shaped by sleep deprivation, sleep quality, chronotypes, and insomnia. The overarching aim is to understand factors contributing to why some individuals are more motivated than others, and how differences in sleep contribute to these variations.

Methodologically, the project combines controlled experimental studies in the lab with online and high-temporal-resolution longitudinal assessments of daily life.
