his findings after that fateful night and ultimately shows that the key
to success, sleep, is still a grand mystery waiting to be solved.

Sleep-Engineering: Improve Your Life By Manipulating Your Sleep | Penny ...


 
Published on Jul 3, 2015
We
spend 1/3rd of our life asleep, which suggests it is doing something
very important. But, what is all of this for? And why does every animal
species appear to need sleep? Based on the latest neuroscientific
research Penny Lewis shows why sleep is thought to be critical for
combining and restructuring memories, and thus to form the basis of
creativity.

Penny (Penelope) Lewis is a neuroscientist at the
University of Manchester, where she runs the Neuroscience and Psychology
of Sleep (NaPS) lab. Her research investigates the role of sleep in
strengthening and altering memories and the ways people can use this to
their advantage. She is the author of The Secret World of Sleep, which
has sold around 10,000 copies, and has written for a variety of popular
science publications, including New Scientist, Scientific American and
BBC Focus.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED
conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Why do we sleep? | Russell Foster


 
Published on Aug 14, 2013
Russell
Foster is a circadian neuroscientist: He studies the sleep cycles of
the brain. And he asks: What do we know about sleep? Not a lot, it turns
out, for something we do with one-third of our lives. In this talk,
Foster shares three popular theories about why we sleep, busts some
myths about how much sleep we need at different ages -- and hints at
some bold new uses of sleep as a predictor of mental health.
