Good sleep is as essential to our health as diet and exercise—yet it remains as mysterious to us as our dreams. In this insightful discussion, brought to you in partnership with Sydney Writers’ Festival, world-renowned neuroscientist Professor Matthew Walker, author of the New York Times bestseller Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams, delves into the science of sleep, dreams and their profound impact on our wellbeing.

Hosted by ABC’s All in the Mind’s Sana Qadar, this conversation explores what defines good sleep, the effects of caffeine and alcohol and the surprising connection between sleep and sex. Professor Walker will also share practical strategies for jet lag and discuss the link between sleep and Alzheimer’s disease.

Whether you’re a night owl, an early riser, or a tosser-and-turner, this is your chance to gain life-changing insights from the world’s leading sleep expert. Prepare to reconsider what you think you know about sleep—and discover why it might just be the most powerful tool you have for a healthier, longer life.

This event is presented in partnership with Sydney Writers’ Festival.
