CBC’s Early Edition featured sleep research by UBC postdoctoral research fellow Glenn Landry at the Tapestry living facility in UBC’s Wesbrook Village.
Landry said sleep is vital to the functioning of our brains. He teaches a class at the residence and offers tips for better sleep.
“The brain is like an engine so it produces waste,” Landry said. “What sleep does is it washes the brain.”
Landry and Teresa Liu-Ambrose, the Canada Research Chair in physical activity, mobility, and cognitive neuroscience at UBC, also spoke to CBC BC.
