Professor Jim Horne - is the Director of the Sleep Research Centre at Loughborough University, which has a national and world-wide reputation. He wrote the textbook Why We Sleep, and the more popular Sleepfaring  (both published by Oxford University Press). The Centre’s work on sleep related vehicle crashes is a major area of research, and Jim is often called as an expert witness in legal cases where tiredness is suspected to have been a contributory factor to an accident. His other interests lie in the function and need for sleep, where he has also published widely.
