Sleep is a highly conserved behavior among the animal kingdom, appearing as distant as jellyfish and elephants. It is generally believed that sleep serves a crucially important yet mysterious “core function” that is shared among all animals and that drives its evolution, but the evidence behind this hypothesis is lacking. In this episode, Lesley has a fun chat with Dr. Giorgio F. Gilestro, an Associate Professor from Imperial College in London, England who for the past 15 years has been researching sleep and its link to biology and behavior. Episode Guest: Giorgio F.
