Episode notes

The human circadian clock is actually a little bit longer than 24 hours. It takes about one day per time zone to adjust, but it is harder in the eastward direction. The second wind phenomenon allows you to stay up an hour or so before your body is ready to fall asleep. For some young children, they perceive them as being evil during that time.

Dr. Judith Owens, the Director for the Center for Pediatric Sleep Disorders at Boston Children's Hospital, joins Adam this week to discuss sleep deprivation and mortality, the circadian clock of cells, jet lag tips and more. Plus, Judith answers burning sleep questions from the Factually! crew. Learn more about your ad choices.
