Kimberly Honn PhD

Kimberly A. Honn is an Assistant Research Professor at Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, United States. Kimberly Honn, Ph.D, conducts laboratory sleep and sleep deprivation studies with specially designed computerized or simulated tasks to identify particular cognitive functions that are most vulnerable or most resilient to the effects of sleep loss. She aims to understand the mechanisms by which sleep loss affects the brain such that interventions can be designed to protect against sleep loss-related errors. Honn’s research extends into real-world settings with field research projects studying sleep, shiftwork schedules, and performance in industries including aviation, rail, and long-haul commercial trucking.
