Today the Harvard School of Public Health, in collaboration with the Huffington Post, will host a live webcast from 2-3 pm EST (11-12 pm PST) on how America’s sleep debt is negatively affecting our health.

This should be a very interesting forum. Alana B. Elias Kornfeld, Editor In Chief, Healthy Living, The Huffington Post will be moderating, and the expert participants will include:

  • Charles Czeisler, Professor of Sleep Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Chief, Division of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital
  • Lucian Leape, Chair, Lucian Leape Institute at the National Patient Safety Foundation, and Adjunct Professor of Health Policy, Harvard School of Public Health
  • Susan Redline, Professor of Sleep Medicine, Harvard Medical School; Director, Programs in Sleep and Cardiovascular Medicine and Sleep Medicine Epidemiology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
  • Frank Hu, Professor of Nutrition and Epidemiology, Harvard School of Public Health

If you “attend,” let us know what you think!
