The heat is bearing down on my face. I feel my legs cramp up and my arms are trembling as I push on the tow bar of a recumbent cyclist up a hill. After five days of traveling from Atlanta to Gulfport, Mississippi, I wonder if I will finish today’s bike ride. I start slightly swerving out of formation and am quickly reminded by a ride leader that I need to get back in my position. Another pusher of the inclined bikes notices I am getting tired and inquires if I would like to take a break. “I can hold on for another five min.” I tell the veteran cyclist.
Welcome to this week’s edition of CDP News! We like to use this space to review recent happenings in and around the Center for Deployment Psychology, while also looking ahead to upcoming events.

The CDP's weekly research update contains the latest news, journal articles and useful links from around the web. Some of this week's topics include:

Recently I attended “Sleep 2016” the 30th anniversary meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (co-hosted by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society). With a combined membership of over 3,000, this is one of the largest conferences specifically focused on sleep disorders research and treatment. While a full review of the abstracts presented (over 1,000 in total) is obviously outside the scope of this blog post, I’d like to review some findings that may be of help to those we train and those we treat.
