Dr. Monique LeBourgeois received her Ph.D. in experimental psychology from The University of Southern Mississippi in 2003. She subsequently completed a NIMH T-32 postdoctoral fellowship in Child Mental Health at the Brown Medical School Sleep and Chronobiology Research Laboratory. She joined the faculty at Brown University (Human Development) and Brown Medical School (Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior) in 2005.
Monique's research interests are in sleep, circadian rhythms, and emotion in early childhood. This laboratory has studies investigating early developmental changes in bioregulatory factors (homeostatic and circadian) that underlie sleep-wake regulation and the effects of daytime sleep restriction on children's ability to regulate and express their emotions. The primary goal in doing this research is to better understand early sleep-wake regulatory processes and developmental pathways to emotional disorders, with the intent of applying this knowledge for the prevention/ treatment of childhood sleep and emotional problems.
