    Sleep Secrets with Dr. Yu Hayashi

    Dr. Yu Hayashi and his team study sleep in nematode worms and mice.  Their aim is to understand why we sleep and what is sleepiness. They hope to uncover the role of REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM sleep, and potentially contribute to treating sleep disorders and other human diseases.   In this interview, Dr. Hayashi explains: Why study sleep in worms and mice? What are REM and non-REM sleep? How they use technology to understand sleep. Why do you feel sleepy after a workout? How to improve memory according to sleep science? And the biggest sleep mysteries.   Guest: Dr. Yu Hayashi (https://hayashi-sleep-lab.net/en/home-2/) Host:Dr. Ravindra Palavalli-Nettimi (https://rvndrpn.wixsite.com/ravindra)   Accompanying feature article: https://www.s.u-tokyo.ac.jp/en/rigakuru/research/uu4jELQj/   Follow us on FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/UTokyo.sci⁠ #sleep #slumber #mice #worms #dreams #memory #UniversityofTokyo #UTokyo #SchoolofScience Music: Incompetech.com
