Café Loburg

How do our smartphones affect the way we sleep? At this Science Café Wageningen, Dr. Maartje van Stralen (VU Amsterdam) will discuss how screen use and other daily routines shape our sleep health. Join us for an evening of science and conversation about how modern life interacts with our most fundamental rhythm. 

Dr. Maartje van Stralen is Associate Professor of Health Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, specialized in sleep health and mental well-being in youth. She is an expert in the systematic development of interventions. Central to her work is a systems approach, which acknowledges the complexity of sleep health by considering interacting factors such as screen use and performance pressure. With great pleasure and dedication, she works to connect practice, policy, and science to better understand and transform the system to promote healthy sleep.
