Dr Victoria Williamson, Vice-Chancellor's Fellow for Music, explores the relationship between music and sleep. Asking if music can help treat insomnia, Dr Williamson investigates how music was used as a sleep aid in centuries past and how new technology is transforming the way we monitor and treat sleep problems. Dr Victoria Williamson's work is funded by a University of Sheffield Vice-Chancellor's Fellowship. Thanks to Tabitha Trahan, Dr. Simon Durrant (University of Lincoln) and Dr. Daniel Müllensiefen (Goldsmiths, University of London) for their work as collaborators on the music for sleep project.
