Dr Reid’s research interests are aimed at gaining a greater understanding of the relationship between the sleep and circadian systems with health and safety. Current research areas include, understanding the basis and treatment of circadian rhythm sleep disorders, the effects of sleep loss on performance and safety, and the relationship between sleep and risk for metabolic and cardiovascular disease.  Dr Reid also has extensive experience in the study of the impact of shift work on sleep, performance and health in the workplace. She has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and has published her work in internationally recognized peer reviewed journals.
