Umair Akram’s Biography

My research examines cognitive and behavioral factors underlying insomnia. In particular, self-perception of tiredness, facial cues of tiredness, sleep-related cognitive biases and the relationship between sleep and psychiatric difficulty. I competed my PhD at Northumbria University, examining cognition in insomnia. Following, I completed my PDip in Sleep Medicine at the University of Oxford. Prior, I completed my BSc Psychology at the University of Hull. Currently a Psychology Lecturer at SHU. I am also an Associate Editor for the Springer Nature journals: BMC Psychiatry and BMC Psychology.
