Mill Valley Public Library's First Friday Series with Matthew Walker

Matthew Walker: Why We Sleep

There isn't one organ within the body or process within the brain that isn't enhanced by sleep when we get enough, or strikingly impaired when we don't. Walker, UC Berkeley Professor and Director of the Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab, discusses the new science of sleep.

About our speaker:
Professor Walker is a senior author of a study published recently in Current Biology. The study's findings lay the groundwork for further investigation into the relationship between sleep and psychiatric illnesses. Clinical evidence has shown that some form of sleep disruption is present in almost all psychiatric disorders. Now there's a neurological basis for this theory.
