Charles A. Czeisler, Ph.D., M.D.
Dr. Czeisler is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and the Director of the Circadian, Neuroendocrine and Sleep Disorders Section in the Department of Medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. Dr. Czeisler has more than 20 years of experience in the field of basic and applied research on the physiology of the human circadian timing system and its relationship to the sleep-wake cycle. Dr. Czeisler received his undergraduate degree from Harvard College in biochemistry and molecular biology magna cum laude in 1974. Dr. Czeisler then attended Stanford University, receiving his Ph.D. in Neuro- and Bio-behavioral Sciences in 1978 and his M.D. in 1981. Dr. Czeisler has published more than 40 original reports in peer-reviewed journals and more than 50 review articles, as well as four books/monographs and numerous abstracts of research. Dr. Czeisler is a Fellow of the American Society for Clinical Investigation and has been a committee member on a number of government panels, including: the New Developments in Neuroscience Advisory Panel responsible for the 1991 report on "Biological Rhythms: Implications for the Worker" by the Office of Technology Assessment, U.S. Congress; the Research Briefing Panel on Basic Sleep Research, Division of Health Science Policy, Institute of Medicine, National Academy of Sciences; the NASA Advisory Panel on the Pre-flight Circadian Shifting of Shuttle Flight Crews, Space and Life Sciences Directorate, NASA; the Panel on Workload Transition, Committee on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, National Research Council; the Biological Rhythms Task Force, Mental Health Research Network I, John S. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation; the External Advisory Committee, National Science Foundation Center for Biological Timing at the University of Virginia; and the Board of Trustees of the National Sleep Disorders Foundation.
Dr. Czeisler's scientific accomplishments in the field of chronobiology include: 1) the first demonstration of the synchronization of human circadian rhythms by light; 2) the first demonstration that spontaneous sleep duration depends primarily on the phase of the circadian timing system, rather than on prior wakefulness; 3) the first demonstration that application of circadian principles could improve the health and performance of shift workers; 4) the design and development of a non-drug treatment for Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome, caused by the misalignment of circadian phase with the patient's desired sleep time; 5) identification with others of the cluster of neurons in the human brain responsible for the generation of circadian rhythmicity in other mammals; 6) the first demonstration that bright light could reset the human circadian pacemaker independent of the timing of the sleep-wake cycle; 7) the first demonstration that properly timed exposure to bright light and darkness could effectively treat maladaptation to shift work; 8) the first application of the bright light technology to facilitate adaptation to a night shift work schedule in an operational setting (NASA space shuttle astronauts); and 9) quantification of the manner in which homeostatic sleep need and circadian sleep tendency interact to regulate alertness, cognitive performance and sleep in humans.

William C. Dement, M.D., Ph.D.
William C. Dement is the world's leading authority on sleep, sleep deprivation, and the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. While still a medical student, he was a member of the team that discovered and described Rapid Eye Movements, and soon after he identified REM sleep as an independent biological state. Dement was the first to record all night EEG sleep patterns and to characterize the basic REM/NON-REM sleep cycle in infants and adults. He introduced the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT) which allowed precise measurements of daytime alertness and sleepiness. This, in turn, greatly advanced our understanding of the effects of acute and chronic sleep deprivation on the health and behavior of individuals and society. During more than four decades of research, Dement, with his students and colleagues, published over 500 scientific papers which have enhanced our knowledge of sleep mechanisms, biological rhythms, and sleep disorders, including obstructive sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and insomnia.
In 1970, Dement founded the world's first sleep disorders center at Stanford University. There, he and Dr. Christian Guilleminault developed clinical polysomnography, the major diagnostic test in sleep medicine, and first identified obstructive sleep apnea as a major illness in America. They described the cardiovascular pathology of this condition as well as the impaired waking behavior of its victims, and, in 1972, introduced tracheostomy, the first effective treatment.
In 1975, envisioning the need for scientific and clinical communication among sleep specialists, Dement launched the American Sleep Disorders Association and served as president for its first twelve years. During this time he fostered a number of initiatives to advance the clinical specialty of sleep medicine, including the standard Sleep Disorders Classification System, the American Board of Sleep Medicine, the scientific journal, Sleep, and the accreditation of sleep disorders centers.
A committed educator in the broadest sense, Dement has been mentor to scores of students, scientists, physicians, and sleep specialists. He developed the first courses on sleep medicine and a host of educational materials as well as co-edited the definitive textbook, Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine. Each year since 1971, he has taught a very popular course, "Sleep and Dreams," at Stanford University and has written the first undergraduate textbook in the field.
Recognizing the dangerous consequences of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea, Dement has worked tirelessly to broaden public awareness about these undiagnosed and misdiagnosed conditions. He has written several popular books, has made countless radio and television appearances, and, with several well-known producers, has participated in the making of numerous documentary films on sleep disorders and sleep deprivation. He continues to be a fervently pursued public lecturer.
The many and broad reaching contributions which established Dement as the undisputed leader in his field have been amply acknowledged. To cite a few honors, he is the only individual specializing in sleep disorders medicine and sleep research elected to the prestigious Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. He received the Golden Eagle Award in 1990 for the most outstanding educational documentary film, which he produced with Dr. James Maas of Cornell University, and a year later accepted the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Sleep Research Society. Dement is the only person to twice receive the prestigious Nathaniel Kleitman Prize of the American Sleep Disorders Association which recognizes outstanding non-research service in the field. The American Psychiatric Association awarded him with two silver medals and one bronze medal for his outstanding sleep disorders exhibits at their annual conventions, and in 1978, the University of Chicago Medical Alumni Association, which acknowledges outstanding achievements of graduates of the Pritzken School of Medicine, presented him with the Distinguished Service Award. Most recently, the Collegium Internationale Neuro-Psychopharmacologicum bestowed upon Dr. Dement their Award for Distinguished Research in the Treatment of Sleep Disorders, and, as a permanent memorial to the founding father of sleep disorders medicine, the American Sleep Disorders Association established the William C. Dement Award for Academic Excellence.
William C. Dement, Director of the Stanford University Sleep Research Center, holds the Lowell W. and Josephine Q. Berry Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences endowed professorship, one of only 219 such chairs for outstanding Stanford University faculty. He remains very active in research, teaching, community service, and national affairs. In the latter arena, Dement was Chairman of the National Commission on Sleep Disorders Research which he guided through to the submission of its final report, Wake Up America! A National Sleep Alert, to the United States Congress in 1992. He continued to work for the subsequent implementation of its recommendations, an effort which led directly to the creation of a new agency within the National Institutes of Health, the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research.

Allan I. Pack, Ph.D.
Dr. Allan I. Pack received his MB, ChB in 1968 and his Ph.D. in mathematical modeling in 1976, from the University of Glasgow. In 1976 Dr. Pack came to the United States to work in the Cardiovascular-Pulmonary Division of the Department of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. At that time Dr. Pack's primary research interest was regulation of breathing. In 1982, Dr. Pack became Principal Investigator of a project studying the effects of sleepiness in the elderly and the role of sleep apnea. Since that time, he has been heavily involved in various projects related to sleep and its disorders. In 1988, Dr. Pack was awarded one of three Special Centers of Research (SCOR) in Cardiopulmonary Disorders During Sleep from the National Institutes of Health. This is a multi-project grant with projects both in clinical and animal research. The SCOR is currently in its sixth of ten years of funding. In January of 1991, the University of Pennsylvania created the Center for Sleep and Respiratory Neurobiology with Dr. Pack as its Director. This is a multidisciplinary Center with members from various departments (Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry) and schools (Medicine, Nursing and Veterinary). The goal of the Center is to facilitate interaction between individuals in different departments. In January of 1993, Dr. Pack was named Medical Director of the National Sleep Foundation. Under Dr. Pack's leadership the Foundation established its DRIVE ALERT...ARRIVE ALIVE program to heighten awareness of the dangers of driving while drowsy. In December of 1993, New York State, in collaboration with the National Sleep Foundation, initiated a state-wide DRIVE ALERT...ARRIVE ALIVE campaign. In December of 1994, the Foundation held a national forum in Washington, DC, on the topic of drowsy drivers. Dr. Pack continues to be committed to bringing the message of the dangers of driving while drowsy to the public. Dr. Pack is the author of over 130 original papers and chapters and has edited two books.
