Animal Sleep Series EP03 w/ Dr. John Lesku on Animal Sleep

In this episode, I talk with Professor John Lesku  John is interested in most things related to sleep.  Using behavioural observations, accelerometry for remote monitoring, and neurophysiological recording techniques, he seeks to provide insight into how sleep and sleep functions have evolved in different types of animals, from flatworms to birds and mammals.  He also studies how ecological factors (e.g., predation risk, reproduction) influence the amount, composition, depth, and timing of sleep.  Most recently, these interests have expanded to include how anthropogenic pollution influences sleeping brain activity in mammals and birds.    Connect with John https://leskulab.org/  Email: [email protected]    Contact me at [email protected] or www.sleep4performance.com.au  and check out the YouTube channel.  Check out our sponsor, LMNT.
