Michael A. Grandner

Sleep researcher and clinician; director of the Sleep and Health Research Program at the university-of-arizona, director of the Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic at Banner–University Medical Center Tucson, and associate professor of psychiatry in the College of Medicine – Tucson. Certified in behavioral sleep medicine.

Third author of tubbs-mind-after-midnight-2022 and lead investigator on the NIMH study built to test it (mind-after-midnight-nimh-grant) — the person carrying the hypothesis from review paper to protocol. His broader subject is sleep as a cardiometabolic and mental-health exposure rather than a neuroscience topic on its own.

The quote worth keeping is the one that undercuts his own press release: "Knowing that people are not at their best in the middle of the night really isn't groundbreaking — but until now the neuroscience of exactly what is happening has been a mystery." A researcher separating the folk claim from the measurable one, in a document with every incentive to conflate them.
