Sleep Science Podcast
We spend a third of our lives sleeping, and this podcast is all about understanding sleep. We know a lot about what the brain does in sleep, but we are just starting to understand why it does some of these things, and even more excitingly, how we can take full advantage of sleep and also manipulate it for our own ends. In each episode, neuroscientist Penny Lewis interviews a different sleep researcher, talking about a various aspect of sleep science. Topics will include sleep physiology and medicine, circadian rhythm, how sleep impacts on our memories and creativity, Sleep Engineering for enhanced health and cognition, and the most recent technologies to promote sleep.©SleepSciencePodcast 2021.

S3E2 - Francesca Siclari - Parasomnias and dreaming
•
Season 3
•
Episode 2
Sleepwalking, sleep talking, night terrors - how do they occur and why do some people have them more than others?
Join us as we discuss with Professor Francesca Siclari her work looking at non-REM parasomnias and the link to dreaming. We discuss the various forms that non-REM parasomnias can take, how they differ between adults and children and what the potential consequences of them can be.
Find out more about Francesca and her research group here.
Here are links to some of the studies:
- Conscious experiences during non-REM parasomnias
- Shared EEG correlates between non-REM parasomnia experiences and dreams
- Consciousness in non-REM-parasomnia episodes
