with national events disrupting sleep patterns and weakening immune system responses

Dr. Matthew Walker, one of today’s top sleep experts, emphasizes sleep as a key health foundation, affecting memory, emotional regulation, immune function and reducing risks of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's
