Roy Parvin was an award-winning author whose career was chugging along, until one night he couldn't sleep.

...which became two.

...which became three.

...which eventually led to Roy's book, My Year Of Sleeping Dangerously.

Roy walks us through the dangers of self-diagnosing your sleep issues, or trying to do it without the help of a sleep specialist.

Referred to by Neil as a "neuroscience rock star" - not because of his role as the lead singer / lead guitarist of an all-scientist rock band, but because this year, he was made an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for his contributions to science - Dr. Adrian Owen brings perspective and wisdom gleaned from a career spent looking at brains.

Neil and Dr. Owen cover a wide range of topics here, including:

• The Terri Schiavo case (and "persistent vegetative states")
• The relationship between neuroplasticity, Dave Matthews and the TV show House
• The impact of getting too little sleep on cognition
• The impact of getting too much sleep on cognition
• What IS cognition, anyway?  (SPOILER ALERT: It's not just about Alzheimer's and memory. You depend on your cognition hundreds, even thousands of times a day.)
• A test you can take - right now - that's basically a breathalyzer for your cognitive function.
