ADHD, the Science of Sleep and Why We Need It

Right now on Refocused, we’re talking all about sleep, the science behind it and why it is so important for us.

 

What does it take to get good sleep? What happens while we are sleeping? What obstacles are we up against when it comes to having good sleep hygiene? How does life and the changes we’ve seen as humans play a role in our sleep patterns?

 

We’re diving into all of that with two sleep experts, Dr. Stephen Lange and Dr. Sanford Auerbach.

 

• Dr. Stephen Lange is a psychologist who focuses on sleep and ADHD, and also provides healthcare services to the U.S. Coast Guard as a Coast Guard Auxiliarist.

 

• Dr. Sanford Auerbach is the director of Boston Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center, as well as an associate professor of neurology, psychiatry and behavioral neurosciences at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine.
