We spend about a third of our lives in altered states of consciousness, commonly known as sleep. Despite spending so much of our time devoted to this activity (more than any other, over a lifetime), we are just beginning to understand why we sleep and what is going on in the brain while we do so.
In this talk, we will review what sleep is, why it is essential for memory, decision making, creativity, and emotional health as well as how to improve sleep and thus live your best life in 2020. Also, we will discuss the phenomenon of dreams, what influences them and their role in psychological health from a scientific perspective.
Pascal Wallisch serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU. His research interests are at the intersection of Psychology and Neuroscience, specifically Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience.
