"Sleeping Your Way to Success: Understanding Sleep in a 24/7 Society"
Lecture by Dr. Gregory Belenky
Dr. Belenky's groundbreaking research examines the critical questions of sleep and performance in people going about their everyday lives. The work of Belenky and his colleagues could change the way we view-and manage-our sleep: as the critical performance resource it really is.
Belenky is heading studies investigating how sleep restriction affects the performance of professionals in high-stress jobs with long hours and irregular schedules, including police officers and first-year doctors. These studies will break new ground in the study of sleep and medicine to determine the true impact of sleep restriction on performance and subsequent recovery.
