James K. Wyatt, PhD, is an internationally recognized expert in several areas in sleep research and sleep medicine. He has studied and lectured on the diagnosis and treatment of circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders, which include jet lag, shift work, delayed and advanced sleep-wake disorders.

He has made advances in our basic understanding of the impact of 1) the endogenous circadian timekeeping system, 2) the sleep-wake homeostatic system, and 3) substances such as caffeine and melatonin on human sleep, wakefulness, and neurobehavioral functions. Wyatt has also led or collaborated on research impacting the diagnosis and treatment of the insomnia disorders.

His research has been funded by the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, NASA, the Department of Defense, foundations, and industry. He was the founding president of the Illinois Sleep Society, has served in various roles in national societies and was a grant reviewer for NIH, NASA, NSBRI, DOD and several foreign governmental biomedical grant agencies.
