ReThinking: What hibernating animals can teach us about human sleep with Vladyslav Vyazovskiy
Do you ever wish you could hibernate like a bear during the winter? Vladyslav Vyazovskiy thinks it might be possible. As a sleep physiologist at Oxford, Vladyslav studies why humans sleep and the sleep patterns of other species.

They also debunk some popular sleep misconceptions, debate the value of napping, and uncover just how little we really know about the science of sleep.
