Research in the SEA Lab focuses on the biological, behavioral, and psychological experiences of sleep, eating, and affect, including depression, loneliness, and insomnia. Additionally, the SEA Lab tests novel interventions to promote firefighter health. Our overarching goal is to develop mind-body interventions that empower individuals to improve their health and well-being. Of particular interest are combinations of thermal practices, such as sauna, and cognitive-behavioral therapies.
Dr. Mason also offers clinical services for individuals struggling with insomnia. Dr. Mason is not currently accepting patients seeking treatment for other conditions. Please visit the Sleep Clinic Page to learn more about her clinical service.
Research within the SEA lab is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the US Department of Defense (DOD), The Donner Foundation, the Tiny Foundation, and philanthropic donors.
