Stay tuned to find out!2017-03-3024 minScience At The Local PodcastScience At The Local PodcastScience at the Local S01E09 John LeskuOur most attended ever Science at the Local (so far) included a session on sleep science for humans. But what about the animal kingdom? John Lesku has been studying the sleep structure and habits of many wild animals and it's fascinating - it's so far from being a cure for insomnia that there's a nonzero probability* it'll give you insomnia.
