 Dr. Clete Kushida
"In humans, the data is fairly mixed as to what the actual function of sleep is. There's various and different hypotheses. But we do know that if a person is sleep deprived, they have problems such as excessive daytime sleepiness, which puts them at risk for motor vehicle as well as work-related accidents. They have difficulties with their cognitive functions. Their ability to think unimpaired is affected, as well as their mood changes. There are a constellation of different types of effects that occur as a result of sleep deprivation."
Executive Editor Robin Jay talks with Dr. Clete Kushida, a sleep doctor from Stanford University, on August 22, 2007, in preparation for an article that appeared in the December 2007/January 2008 issue of Case in Point. The article was titled "Awake At Night: The Ill Effects of Poor Sleep and Sleep Disorders."
