Radiolab: Sleep
Friday, March 15, 2013
Birds do it, bees do it... yet science still can't answer the basic question: why do we sleep? Every creature on the planet sleeps -- from giant humpback whales to teeny fruit flies.
What does sleep do for us, and what happens when we go
without? We take a peek at iguanas sleeping with one eye open, get
in bed with a pair of sleep-deprived new parents, and eavesdrop on
the uneasy dreams of rats.
