Sleep Compass
Sleep Compass consolidates and translates scientific knowledge about sleep into clear and practical information for a broad audience. Today, much knowledge about sleep remains fragmented and difficult to access for citizens, patients, and healthcare professionals.
Based on research within the focus area Active neighbourhoods and lifestyle interventions at Odisee University of Applied Sciences, this knowledge is transformed into applicable insights and tools.
Reliable information about sleep in one central place, tailored to different needs and situations.
Welcome to SlaapKompas
From Research to Better Sleep

SlaapKompas consolidates this knowledge and makes it accessible to everyone. By bringing reliable information together in one logical and recognisable platform, it helps translate research findings into practical applications.
On this website, we turn scientific research into easy-to-understand information and actionable tips that you can immediately apply in your daily life. After all, good sleep is essential for your health, energy levels, and overall well-being.
