Inadequate sleep is related to a wide range of problems, from depression to obesity. Dan Yang, Professor of Neurobiology at the University of California, Berkeley, discusses our increasing understanding of the neuronal circuits involved in sleep: one day, it could become possible to control these circuits, creating ‘sleep on demand’.
