In this episode, we look at sleep from a historical perspective and the increase in sleep deficiency over time. We explore the reason for this, and what we can do to get more sleep. We examine how sleep relates to public health, social justice, and inequality.
We are joined by Lauren Hale — Professor in the Department of Family and Population and Preventative Medicine in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University.
Hosts: Judi Brown Clarke, Vice President of Equity & Inclusion and Chief Health Equity Officer; and Rick Gatteau, Vice President of Student Affairs at Stony Brook University.
