Schlafen: Einblicke in Praxis, Prävention und Forschung

Lecture & Workshop

with Dr. Martin Glos (Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin) and Thea Herold (Managing Director, German Sleep Foundation)

Lecture: Dr. Martin Glos

In his lecture, sleep researcher Dr. Martin Glos will provide an insight into the structure and function of the sleep-wake cycle and discuss individual characteristics and changes that occur in the course of life and gender-specific differences. Possibilities for recording sleep, from diary entries and the use of "smart watches" to EEG measurements in the sleep laboratory, will also be discussed. The limits and risks of "quantified self" monitoring with various apps and wearables will be explained, as will current projects and topics of interdisciplinary collaboration and research at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin and the Sleep Academy Berlin.

Workshop: Thea Herold

Thea Herold's workshop is all about conscious breaks. It provides knowledge about the value and effect of sleep and the importance of breaks using the example of the power nap. It is about how the 24/7 lifestyle and modern work structures influence the biorhythm. Practical exercises from Tai Chi help you to relax and take a short nap.
