why is sleep important until the late
00:03
1970s and early 1980s we just didn't
00:05
know a lot about sleep
00:07
because we didn't have the technology to
00:08
study the brain in depth
00:10
and therefore we weren't able to study
00:11
sleep with the development of the
00:13
necessary technology there's been a real
00:15
acceleration in research on sleep
00:17
and we've learned more about sleep in
00:19
the past 10 to 20 years
00:21
than we have in all of human history we
00:23
now know that sleep is fundamentally
00:25
important to physical health
00:27
mental health and cognitive and physical
00:29
performance
00:30

00:32
created i go in a little bit more in
00:34
depth
00:35
on many of these topics to help give you
00:37
a greater understanding
00:38
of not only the role of good sleep and
00:40
health well-being performance
00:42
but also how sleep works how to identify
00:45
the most common disorders
00:46
