Description

How important is it to get the right amount of sleep? We'll answer with another question: how important is it to have a functioning memory? In the debut episode of Good to Know, SJU neuroscientist and assistant professor of biology Jennifer Choi Tudor, Ph.D., discusses her research on the effect sleep deprivation has on the protein synthesis necessary for proper memory formation, and why getting the right eight hours of slumber - sleep when it's dark, work and play when it's light - is critical.
