Description
“Innocent sleep. Sleep that soothes away all our worries. Sleep that puts each day to rest. Sleep that relieves the weary labourer and heals hurt minds. Sleep, the main course in life’s feast, and the most nourishing.” Shakespeare’s description in Macbeth captures the restorative properties of sleep. Join Dr. Knoefel for an exploration of the science of sleep. What does it do for us? How do we measure it? What happens if I don’t sleep enough? How can I improve my sleep?
