The Sleep Health Check is a scientific study by the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) on sleep and health. Using scientifically validated questionnaires, you will receive personal insights into your sleep and wake patterns — directly via the app and without any additional devices. At the same time, you will help improve our understanding of sleep and health and contribute to shaping future health strategies. The study will launch as a pilot project in Austria and will gradually expand to other European countries.
