Snooze .....

Jessa Gamble

If you snooze, you lose. This intriguing talk last just four minutes, making you wonder why (if you know, tell me). Further, it is given by a fellow Canuck who lives somewhere near the Arctic. On the other hand Jessa Gamble is a journalist, rather than a scientist (disclosure next time, please!!),  and you can’t find anything about her on Google Scholar (at least I couldn’t).  

So what is going on? Couldn’t TED find a scientist who has been doing cool research on sleep to keep us awake with a fuller (and perhaps more documented ) eighteen minute version?

The above notwithstanding, I do think that electric lighting during evening hours has been mucking around with our biological clocks for over a century.
