Rate My Professor Angela Campbell

Associate Professor Angela Campbell holds a position in the Department of Medicine at the University of Otago, Wellington, and serves as the Manager of the WellSleep Sleep Investigation Centre at Bowen Hospital, Crofton Downs, Wellington. Her research specializations encompass sleep medicine science, home-based diagnostic testing for sleep disorders, treatment innovations including Auto, EPR, and Sensawake technologies, strategies to improve compliance with sleep apnea treatments, ethnic and cultural differences in the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea, access to sleep services and outcome measures particularly for Māori populations, standards and quality assurance in sleep technology practice, and paediatric respiratory physiology along with normal values for sleep apnea. These interests reflect her commitment to advancing clinical practices and addressing disparities in sleep health outcomes.

Campbell's academic contributions are evidenced by her extensive publication record. Key works include the highly cited 'Sleep-disordered breathing occurs frequently in stable outpatients with congestive heart failure' published in Chest in 2005, 'Continuous positive airway pressure reduces daytime sleepiness in mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea: a meta-analysis' in Thorax in 2006, and 'Parent knowledge of children's sleep: A systematic review' in Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2017. Recent publications feature 'The incidence, prevalence and treatment of narcolepsy in New Zealand' in the New Zealand Medical Journal in 2025, 'Māori sleep health across the lifespan: A scoping review of New Zealand research literature' presented at the Journal of Sleep Research in 2024, and 'New Zealand paediatric respiratory stock-take survey' in the New Zealand Medical Journal in 2026. Her research has accumulated over 3,400 citations, underscoring her influence in sleep medicine. In 2024, she received the Australia and New Zealand Sleep Science Association’s President’s Award for her outstanding contributions, world-class research, leadership in promoting sleep physiology as a profession, and dedication to educating future physiologists. She also contributes to teaching and supervises postgraduate research at WellSleep.
