Sleep can be difficult to achieve, yet it’s critically important for families.
Dr. Stremler’s research focuses on improving sleep and physical and mental health outcomes for infants, children, adolescents and their families. She achieves this via studies that rigorously evaluate interventions including those delivered by nurses and digital health interventions that leverage wearable sensor data, and observational studies that examine factors influencing sleep. She is a Fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the American Academy of Nursing, and the Canadian Academy of Nursing. In 2024, Dr. Stremler was appointed as Dean of the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto where since 2015 she has held senior academic leadership roles such as Director, PhD Program and Associate Dean Academic.
