We spend a third of our life doing it, but how much do we really know about the mysteries of sleep? Recent developments in neuroscience have begun to unlock the reasons that sleep is so vital for us, and how going without it can affect you, both mentally and physically. This course will explore our natural circadian rhythms, and how the modern world can influence them, exploring issues surrounding shift work, jet lag and artificial lighting. As well as looking at what is going on in our brains when we sleep and dream, we will also discuss practical tips to improve the quality of your sleep.
