Kevin Doherty, better known as [=SleepResearch=]_Facility, is a [[{{Ambient}} dark ambient]] musician based in Glasgow, Scotland, active since 2000. Most of his music is composed to encourage sleep in listeners with sleeping disorders, and the themes of his albums explore horror, isolation, nature and technology.

!![=SleepResearch=]_Facility provides examples of the following tropes:

* EasterEgg: The 5:14 mark of "a-deck" samples a recording of [[Creator/TheBBC BBC Radio]]'s Greenwich Time Signal.
* EpicRocking: Most of his songs exceed the ten minute mark. ''Dead Weather Machine: [=ReHeat=]'' consists of a single 51-minute-long track.
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: A recurring trope in Doherty's albums;
** ''Nostromo'' uses raw electrostatic discharges as an instrument.
** ''Dead Weather Machine'' and ''Dead Weather Machine: [=ReHeat=]'' both sample a three-minute recording of the sounds of a broken Dimplex electric heater.
** ''Stealth'' and ''Source'' were recorded using the sounds of a Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit, otherwise known as the Stealth Bomber.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: ''Source'' contains the source audio of ''Stealth''.
* NewSoundAlbum: ''Stealth'' and ''Source'' feature the inclusion of high-frequency sounds and sudden loud noises that occur throughout the album, a sharp contrast to Doherty's earlier albums.
* RemixAlbum: ''Dead Weather Machine: [=ReHeat=]'' is a new mix from the same heater recording used to create ''Dead Weather Machine''.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: The spelling of ''Deep_Frieze''.[[note]]Frieze ''is'' an actual word, with the definition being the central section of an antiquity-era building's entablature.[[/note]]
* ShoutOut: ''Nostromo'' is directly based on the freighter from ''Film/{{Alien}}'', Doherty's favorite movie. The bonus track of the 2007 reissue is themed after the ''Narcissus'', the ''Nostromo'''s lifeboat.
