Abstract
Inadequate sleep and sleep disturbances have recently emerged as important contributors to obesity and cancer risk. This chapter describes the emergence of cross-disciplinary research on sleep, energetics, and cancer risk. It describes the challenges that were encountered, how these were addressed, and the added value this integration has brought, in terms of research questions and approaches and scientific findings.
