Reminder on sleep


Sleep is too important to forget about, so here is a gentle reminder.

Ariana Huffington has been making the rounds of talk shows and radio programs, promoting her (relatively) new book on the importance of sleep.  Have you checked it out?  The Library has it in 4 formats (print and audio, and ebook and eaudio).

This article has a video of Huffington talking about sleep, as well another video with Russell Foster, who talks about why we sleep.  Learn fascinating tidbits about what the brain does during sleep, including information processing and memory consolidation.  Did you know that some parts of the brain are more active during sleep than while awake?

Sweet dreams!
