Next: Dec. 8Underslept & Idle: Transformative Effects of Sleep & Movement
Mathew Walker, Ph.D. & Kelly McGonigal, Ph.D. 
Sleep scientist Dr. Matthew Walker and research psychologist Dr. Kelly McGonigal will come together to discuss the enormous benefits restful sleep and joyful movement have on health and well-being. Sharing wisdom and debunking myths, Dr. Walker will discuss the impact of sleep on mind and body—from unleashing your creative powers to boosting your capacity for learning, memory and immune health—and details practices you and your children can start (and stop) doing tonight to get some rest. And Dr. McGonigal will show how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, and why it is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.
