The Triangle Center for Evolutionary Medicine will host "Awakening to the Significance of Sleep and Health Disparities: A Global Evolutionary Perspective," on Dec. 1, 2016 from 8:45 a.m.-2 p.m. in the Great Hall of the Trent Semans Center.
Sleep is a critically important aspect of human biology and health that varies in relation to environmental, social and cultural factors. Recent findings are linking sleep disparities to health disparities, and providing new insights to the evolution and function of sleep. This symposium will explore emerging connections between changing environments, disrupted sleep, and health outcomes in the U.S. and globally.
