About the journal
Behavioral Sleep Medicine addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal' domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. Behavioral Sleep Medicine also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review , based on initial editor screening and refereeing by three anonymous reviewers.
Behavioral Sleep Medicine is abstracted/indexed in: Science Citation Index, ASSIA: Applied Social Sciences Index & Abstracts; PsycINFO/Psychological Abstracts; EBSCOhost Products; New Abstracts and Papers in Sleep (NAPS); Index Medicus/MEDLINE/PubMed.; and Cabell' Directory of Publishing Opportunities in Psychology.

This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.
Editorial Scope:
Behavioral Sleep Medicine (BSM) addresses behavioral dimensions of normal and abnormal sleep mechanisms and the prevention, assessment, and treatment of sleep disorders and associated behavioral and emotional problems. Standards for interventions acceptable to this journal are guided by established principles of behavior change. Intending to serve as the intellectual home for the application of behavioral/cognitive science to the study of normal and disordered sleep, the journal paints a broad stroke across the behavioral sleep medicine landscape. Its content includes scholarly investigation of such areas as normal sleep experience, insomnia, the relation of daytime functioning to sleep, parasomnias, circadian rhythm disorders, treatment adherence, pediatrics, and geriatrics. Multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome. The journal's domain encompasses human basic, applied, and clinical outcome research. BSM also embraces methodological diversity, spanning innovative case studies, quasi-experimentation, randomized trials, epidemiology, and critical reviews.
Audience:
Psychlogists, physicians, nurses, and other health care researchers and clinicians who prize knowledge of normal and disordered sleep from the perspective of behavioral/cognitive science.
Manuscript Preparation:
All manuscripts submitted must contain material that has not been published and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA; 5th ed.). The manual sets forth guidelines for referencing, preparation of abstracts (maximum 120 words), bias-free language, margins (1 in., 2.54 cm, on four sides), formatting tables and figures, etc. Double space all text and number all pages consecutively. On the first page, indicate the title of the article; a short form of the title (less than 50 characters); and the author(s) name(s), affiliation(s), and complete mailing address(es). Define acronyms and abbreviations used in the manuscript when first mentioned. Print each figure and table on a separate page. To briefly summarize APA format for references, sources are cited in the text by author and year (e.g., Loomis, Harvey, & Hobart, 1937), and the reference list is arranged alphabetically. Examples of reference format for articles, chapters, and books are as follows:
Loomis, A. L., Harvey, E. N., & Hobart, G. A., III. (1937). Cerebral states during sleep, as studied by human brain potentials. Journal of Experimantal Psychology, 21, 127–144.
Webb,W. B. (1970). Individual differences in sleep length. In E. Hartmann (Ed.), Sleep and dreaming (pp. 44–47). Boston: Little, Brown.
Kleitman, N. (1939). Sleep and wakefulness. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
Manuscript Submission:
Behavioral Sleep Medicine receives all manuscript submissions electronically via their ScholarOne Manuscripts website located at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/HBSM. ScholarOne Manuscripts allows for rapid submission of original and revised manuscripts, as well as facilitating the review process and internal communication between authors, editors and reviewers via a web-based platform. ScholarOne Manuscripts technical support can be accessed via http://scholarone.com/services/support/. If you have any other requests please contact the journal's editor at lichstein@ua.edu.
Early Career Distinguished Research Award:
The editorial leadership of BSM periodically encounters a particularly outstanding article from an early career investigator. Such articles are characterized by a level of methodological maturity and importance of findings more commonly associated with accomplished senior scientists. BSM will honor research that satisfies these standards with the Early Career Distinguished Research Award. The award comprises featured recognition in the journal and invited commentary by a distinguished scholar on the merits of the research. This award reflects the Journal's interest in honoring outstanding early career scientists, encouraging high quality research, and elevating the visibility of particularly important research for the readership. To be eligible, the first author must be 5 years or less post Ph.D. (or post residency for physicians) at the time of submission and should indicate in the submission cover letter that he/she wishes to be considered for this award.
Permissions:
Authors are responsible for all statements made in their work, for obtaining permission from copyright owners for reprinting or adapting a table or figure, and also for reprinting a quotation of more than 500 words.
