Episode 2: Sleep/Hibernation
Everyday Americans trade stories over the coffee machines about what a lousy night's sleep they had, either because they suffered insomnia or because their partner snored so loudly. But sleep is more than a luxury. One sleep disorder is the second greatest cause of traffic accidents. Find out how to get the rest you need.
And new research into how and why bears and ground squirrels hibernate holds out promises for treating human illnesses.
Studio panelists include:
- Owen Hanley, M.D., Fairbanks Memorial Hospital.
- Anne Morris, M.D., Providence Hospital, Anchorage.
- Brian Barnes, Director, Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska Fairbanks.
