Charles Czeisler; the Frank Baldino, Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Sleep Medicine at HMS and Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Russell Sanna, executive director of the Division of Sleep Medicine, and Stuart Quan, the Gerald E. McGinnis Professor of Sleep Medicine at HMS and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, were guests on HuffPost Live.
