Host: Joe Zak
Abstract: Why do we make better decisions, generally, when we "sleep on it"? What is happening during this very active state state of unconsciousness in which we must spend about 1/3rd of our lives? We will explore the neuroscience of sleep, what makes it so essential to our cognitive and emotional health, and examine the evidence that indicates that sleep is essential to long term memory. Finally, we will examine the ways that sleep can get derailed and what to do about it.
