Guy Leschziner will be giving a lecture on 'Sleep and Mental Health'. Register to watch his lecture here: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/whats-on/sl... --------------------- A good night's sleep is anything but quiet: a myriad of processes occupy our brains, crucial for every aspect of our waking lives. Our increased understanding of the neuroscience of sleep – that sleep may not affect the brain in its entirety – provides a window into the human experiences of sleep deprivation, lucid dreaming, spiritual visitations and a range of clinical sleep disorders, such as insomnia, dream enactment and sleep paralysis.
