The organization traces its roots to a meeting in 1961 of sleep researchers in Chicago, IL.
[1] The group adopted an official name, the Association for the Psychophysiological Study of Sleep (APSS), in 1964.
[8] It includes high-quality and replicable basic, translational, and clinical research in sleep and circadian science.
Approximately 5,000 people attend each year to hear presentations on the latest research.
