  Not at all, as my work is mainly supervising other researchers to collect data. Some of these studies are lab based, for example: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2017-04-psychologist-positive-spiders.html

  Mine’s not so much a lab as it is an office. I try to be in my office three days a week for at least seven hours. However, I spend a lot of time in other places on campus or out in the city doing data collection. And then a lot of my work can be done from home as well eg. data analysis and writing.

  At the moment not much. A big part of my job requires teaching, and we are currently in the middle of term time so I am snowed under with administration roles, lecturing and helping my students. Sleep research also often requires the sleep deprivation of the experimenter, so it is not a good idea to be involved with this during my busy teaching period.

  Like Warren, these days I am in the lab less and less as I mainly supervise other researchers, to teach them how to collect data and then how to analyse these data.
