Full Description:: Sleep. We can't live or learn without it, but how much do we know about what's happening in our brains while we snooze? In Brain Awareness Week 2024 and on the eve of World Sleep Day, join us for an engaging evening with our scientific panel as we explore questions like:

Why do our brain and body need sleep?
What are the different functions of sleep?
How does sleep impact a child's brain development?
What happens to our brains when we don't get enough sleep?
Can we replicate sleep to improve brain function?
How did human consciousness evolve?

Doors open at 6pm. The lecture commences at 6:30pm and includes an interactive Q&A session, so bring your questions! Light refreshments served between 7:30 and 8pm.
