Understanding the Mysteries of Sleep

October 27, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Investigators have tied sleep to a variety of body functions, including our weight control, immune system and even how we process our world. Dr. Vaughn will discuss such issues, the science of sleep including how our brains enter the sleep state and the different stages of sleep, and some of the disorders of sleep for which people seek care. Join us as we learn about the significance of sleep on our health and well-being.

Bradley Vaughn, MD, is a Professor of Neurology, Adjunct Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Adjunct Professor in Allied Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the Medical Director for the UNC Sleep Center and has practiced in sleep medicine for over 25 years. He has served on regional and national executive boards, committees, and task forces within the areas of sleep and neurology. His primary research focuses on the overlap of sleep and epilepsy, and he is involved in teaching sleep medicine at multiple levels in the sleep and neurology communities.
