Join the world's most respected neuroscientists, psychologists, and neurobiologists as they explore the reasons why our brains may hold the key to our independence in this documentary special hosted by Peter Coyote. Every waking moment, our brains take in information. We make important decisions based on the way we perceive this information, so what happens as we get older, and the signals we receive from our ears and eyes becomes less reliable? Could we do something to dramatically impact these abilities? In this documentary, some of the world's most innovative experts reveal why the brain could be capable of changing and adapting even later in life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

According to research estimates, sleep disorders regularly impact a whopping thirty-six million Americans. Many are substantially sleep deprived - the product of going to bed too late and/or getting up too early to accommodate busy schedules - while others suffer from a condition known as sleep apnea that regularly disturbs the ebb and flow of sleep by causing the victim to stop breathing hundreds of times per night. In the PBS documentary Good Night with Sleep Doctor Michael Breus Ph.D, physician Breus (one of the world's leading experts on sleep) discusses the ways in which job activity, environment, dietary habits and genetics can directly and negatively impact one's ability to sleep well and thus function well during the day. Breus then discusses the myriad of ways in which individuals can modify their sleeping patterns to dramatically improve many aspects of their lives. The program is divided, thematically and topically, into three segments: Understanding Sleep and Sleep Disorders, in which Breus expostulates on the scientific nature of sleep and the origin of various related dysfunctions; "You Are What You Sleep," in which Breus teaches viewers how to make simple lifestyle modifications to improve sleep patterns; and "Sleep Myths," in which Breus discusses the most common misperceptions about sleep per se. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
