Does Sleeplessness Cause Loneliness and Anxiety?

This is one of my favorite interviews. Dr. Eti Ben-Simon is a neuroscientist at UC Berkeley who studies sleep and sleep loss. She’s conducted studies that explore how sleeplessness affects our sense of how isolated we are, and how well we cope with everyday situations. In this talk, she begins to answer questions such as:

  • Does loneliness cause sleeplessness?

  • Does sleeplessness cause anxiety?

  • How do you sleep better?

  • What technology could help with deep sleep in the future?
