His studies formed the basis for the synthesis of chronobiology and sleep research . He carried out sleep studies in chronobiological isolation experiments. Connections between sleep and biological rhythms could be discovered and scientifically substantiated. Further daytime sleep examinations proved the biological basis for afternoon nap . In 2001 he founded the Sleep School, a prevention seminar for those affected by sleep disorders. He also dealt with light therapy .
