About Us

Addiction Sleep Research (ASR) builds upon the innovative work of Lowell Robertson, M.D., a trailblazer in Addiction Medicine, to advance sleep therapy for a broad spectrum of addictions and related conditions. Dr. Robertson’s groundbreaking contributions laid the foundation for the development of innovative resources, which ASR continues to refine and expand. Today, ASR independently manages the creation and rigorous testing of sleep therapy sessions to ensure their efficacy and continuous improvement. Additionally, ASR is committed to supporting high-risk groups by offering complimentary annual subscriptions to those struggling with destructive addictions and conditions.

Thanks to Dr. Robertson ASR is dedicated to:

  • Facilitating the acquisition of science-based, reproducible research to validate and enhance sleep theory applications in many areas.
  • Providing complimentary annual subscriptions to the SleepSmartz app’s sleep therapy library for qualifying individuals.
  • Funding a comprehensive public awareness campaign to educate at-risk populations about this innovative recovery tool.
