About

Annika Norell-Clarke is a sleep researcher whose work sits at a compelling intersection of clinical psychology, behavioral sleep medicine, and emerging health technology. Her research primarily focuses on insomnia — one of the most prevalent sleep disorders — with a particular interest in hyperarousal as both a causal and maintaining factor. Norell-Clarke has pioneered investigations into innovative, non-pharmacological interventions, most notably her groundbreaking series of studies examining the Somnox sleep robot as a therapeutic tool for adults struggling with insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Her contributions are especially notable for their methodological rigor and clinical relevance. Through randomized waitlist-controlled trials, single-case studies, and mixed-method designs, she has systematically evaluated how calm breathing facilitation via robotic intervention can reduce somatic arousal and improve sleep outcomes. Her research has also extended to underserved populations, including adults with ADHD and comorbid insomnia, demonstrating both scientific breadth and a commitment to inclusive care. With citations accumulating across her recent publications, Norell-Clarke's work is gaining meaningful traction in the sleep science community. For students and clinicians alike, her research represents an exciting frontier where technology meets evidence-based sleep medicine.
