While scientists are still working to identify and clarify all of the functions of sleep, decades of studies have confirmed that sleep is of fundamental importance for various physical and cognitive processes and even survival. Studies have also identified potentially catastrophic effects of lack of sleep on health, wellness, and brain function. This presentation will discuss research that indicates the impact of sleep deprivation on the body and examine the role of underdiagnosed sleep apnea as a significant threat to public health.
