The Science of Sleep: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It Matters

Sleep can be seen in many different ways: as a dynamic physiologic state, a personal experience, even as a social behavior.

It is maintained by a complex mechanism in the nervous system. Sometimes this process goes awry, and the result can be a variety of sleep disorders, manifested as insomnia, excessive sleepiness or undesirable behaviors during sleep. In his talk, Wallace B. Mendelson will describe how normal sleep is regulated, as well as some of the major sleep disorders and available treatments.
