In this interview with Dr. Beth Malow, Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics, we will discuss circadian rhythms, including why they are essential for quality sleep and how they change as we age.  We will also explore the significant effects of adjusting our clocks twice a year, such as during daylight saving time, and how these changes impact sleep and overall health. Walk away with a better understanding of how circadian rhythms influence sleep and what practical steps you can take if you have trouble falling or staying asleep. This session will include ample time for Q&A.
