Welcome
The ENRICH Study is focused on understanding how sleep contributes to the healthy development of infants. Studies have shown that brain development and learning are heavily influenced by sleep. The ENRICH programme, supported by Johnson & Johnson and Science Foundation Ireland, will research the effects of lifestyles, sensory experiences and sleep patterns on the cognitive development of healthy infants.
What is ENRICH?
The Infant Baby Enrichment Research Programme, known as ENRICH, is focused on understanding how sleep contributes to the healthy development of infants. Studies have shown that brain development and learning are heavily influenced by sleep. Regular, quality sleep helps to optimise physical growth and brain plasticity, while a lack of sleep has been linked to long term negative impacts on behaviours and learning ability.
