America is chronically sleep deprived and Charles Czeisler, the Frank Baldino, Jr., Ph.D. Professor of Sleep Medicine at HMS and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, wants to do something about it. According to Czeisler, head of the Division of Sleep Medicine, sleep is the third pillar of health, along with exercise and eating well. Russell Sanna, executive director of the Division of Sleep Medicine, and Nancy Costikyan, lecturer on psychiatry at Cambridge Health Alliance, are also quoted.
