Description: 羅素．福克斯是週期神經學家：他研究大腦的睡眠週期。他好奇：「我們到底對睡眠瞭解多少？」事實上並不多，但是我們花了生命中三分之一的時間在睡覺。在這個演講中，福克斯博士討論了關於睡眠需求的三大理論，澄清了對於年紀和睡眠需求的迷思，並且提出了用睡眠預測心智健康的想法。

Here I say that the quote, "O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee?" is from "the Scottish play," a euphemism for *Macbeth*. But in fact it's from *Henry IV, Part 2*.

我們為什麼需要睡眠？

Sleep is not a passive, wasted stretch of time but a powerful engine for restoring the body and sharpening the mind. On average, people spend 32 years asleep over a 90-year lifespan, yet modern life treats sleep as dispensable. Chronic sleep deprivation damages memory, weakens judgment, and even raises the risk of obesity and heart disease. Powerful new research reveals deep links between disrupted sleep and mental illness, suggesting that sleep is critical not just for daily functioning, but for mental health itself.
