| Personal Growth Series: Dr. William Dement on Healthy Sleep and Optimal Perfo... |
 |
Google Tech Talks
September 23, 2008
ABSTRACT
Under ordinary circumstances, healthy sleep
is by far the most powerful determination of
high-level performance and productivity.
Three major characteristics must be present
to define healthy sleep. They are (1) a
sufficient amount and continuity to avoid
sleep indebtedness, (2) absence or near
absence of pathological sleep-related events
and (3) reasonable synchronizing of desired
time in bed with circadian predisposition.
The nature of each of these three
characteristics will be elaborated as well as
their relation to performance.
Speaker: Dr. William Dement
William C. Dement, M.D., Ph.D., is the
world's leading authority on sleep, sleep
disorders, and the dangers of sleep
deprivation. He is Chief of the newly created
Division of Sleep at Stanford University
School of Medicine, which is also the home of
the world's first sleep disorders center
founded by Dr. Dement.
Born and raised in the state of Washington,
Dr. Dement remained in his home state for his
undergraduate years at the University of
Washington. He then pursued his graduate
studies at the University of Chicago,
receiving his M.D. in 1955 and Ph.D. in
Neurophysiology in 1957. For more than half a
century, Dr. Dement has conducted basic sleep
research, investigated sleep disorders and
treatments, and has launched a myriad of
public education programs. From 1953 to 1957,
he conducted the first studies leading to the
characterization of rapid eye movement (REM)
sleep, the basic REM/NREM sleep cycle, and
all night sleep patterns.
In 1975, Dr. Dement founded the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine serving as its
President for twelve years. Dr. Dement was
also a founder of the American Board of Sleep
Medicine. From 1990-1993, he served as
Chairman of the U.S. Congress's National
Commission on Sleep Disorders Research. In
2001, he received the largest National
Institute of Health research grant in sleep
medicine history to establish the
effectiveness and benefits of continuous
positive air pressure (CPAP) treatment for
large populations of patients with
obstructive sleep apnea.
As the author or co-author of over 500
scientific publications, Dr. Dement's
research, findings, and advice can be found
amongst several texts including his own, The
Sleepwatchers, and most recently, The Promise
of Sleep. He is also co-editor of the
definitive textbook, Principles and Practice
of Sleep Medicine, now in it's 4th edition.
Dr. Dement's strong desire to educate
students about sleep and the dangers of sleep
deprivation led to the creation of his very
popular course, "Sleep & Dreams," at Stanford
University, which he has been presenting
regularly for over 35 years. He will continue
his efforts to educate the public and
increase sleep awareness as long as he lives.
