The Globe and Mail mentioned UBC professor Teresa Liu-Ambrose in an article about research into the importance of getting enough sleep. Liu-Ambrose, who was not involved in the study, said that while the latest findings align with previous research, the amount of sleep needed varies among individuals, and quality, rather than quantity, is also a factor.
Liu-Ambrose is an assistant professor at UBC’s department of physical therapy and the Canada Research Chair in physical activity, mobility and cognitive neuroscience.
