SECRETS OF SLEEP

What is normal sleep? How much sleep do we actually need?

Sleep can be elusive at the best of times, much more so when we are experiencing a lot of stress in our lives—such as in the current pandemic environment. Poor sleep can have an impact on our ability to function mentally as well as physically, but do we even know what constitutes a "normal" amount of rest?

Join the Financial Times Women in Business Asia Forum and Dr Guy Leschziner, consultant neurologist and sleep physician and author of The Nocturnal Brain—Nightmares, Neuroscience and the Secret World of Sleep, to learn about the consequences of insufficient sleep and how to foster habits to improve it.
