Description
Isabela Ishikura and co-authors map sleep research growth in a 2026 analysis of journal output over 15 years. They checked the top 10 journals in six health fields, from child health to sports science. Sleep terms were tracked across three five-year spans, from 2010 to 2024, in a large database.
Sleep papers made up 0.4 to 2.2 percent of output in these fields. Their growth beat total journal growth by more than 1.5 times in four of six fields. Sports science rose 305.3% across the full span, and insomnia, sleep apnea, and sleep quality were the most used sleep topics.
