Show Notes
This week on Exchanges, we're joined by Dr. Catherine Ball researcher, futurist, and author for a fascinating deep dive into the science, technology, and future of sleep.
From the role sleep played in human evolution to the way screens and modern life are quietly eroding our rest, Dr. Ball connects the dots between biology, psychology, and the world we've built around ourselves. We explore how AI and smart devices are changing the way we understand and optimize sleep, what the science of sleep stages tells us about brain health, and the cultural shifts that are reshaping the way society thinks about rest.
It's an Exchange that will change the way you think about those eight hours and maybe what you do before you close your eyes tonight.
