What are the consequences of living in a 24/7 world, where
sleep is simply not a priority? In this program, researchers from the circadian,
neuroendocrine, and sleep disorders section of Boston’s Brigham and Women’s
Hospital as well as a broad cross-section of shift workers discuss sleep deprivation and
chronic fatigue. Studies involving astronauts, truckers, and teenagers quantify the
effects of light and dark on human physiology, long-term fatigue on life span, and
tiredness on academic performance. The impact of fatigue on decision-making and the
societal implications of time-shifting the circadian clock are also considered. (54
minutes, color)
