The Leiden Institute for Brain and Cognition (LIBC) will organize, on 18 March 2010, the symposium “Sleep(less) in Leiden” to address recent developments in sleep research. Since ancient times it is known that sleep is of paramount importance for normal human physical, cognitive and emotional functioning, but only recently science has become able to study normal sleep and sleep abnormalities in much more detail.
Has this progress led to a better understanding of our biological clock and modern disturbances like the ‘jet lag’ or the old fashioned ‘lying awake’? Is there a relation between sleep and memory? And what can science tell us about dreaming? Is it essential to our functioning or can we do without?
