This fascinating documentary brings us to laboratories in Italy, France, Israel and Switzerland where researchers are trying to untangle the mysterious working of the brain in order to help those who suffer from these disorders. Dr. Peretz Lavie is a sleep researcher and the director of the Technion Sleep Laboratory in Haifa, Israel. His state-of-the-art lab studies 2,000 patients a year, six nights a week. We watch these forlorn, sleep deprived human beings, rigged to scientific instruments, as they try to accomplish in the lab what most people do naturally amidst the comforts of home. Dr. Michel Jouvet in Paris has studied the functions of sleep and dreams for over fifty years. He discusses the interest in dreams going back to early man. One patient we see suffers from narcolepsy; he never knows what activity will be interrupted by a sudden "fall" into sleep. Another is a sleep walker whose life is half dream, half reality. One woman has the only documented case of sleep without REM. The result is that she never has the benefit of a restorative rest. One patient from a family afflicted for generations with a rare, lethal form of insomnia, remembers relatives who didn t sleep for months; their fatigue was catastrophic and incomprehensible. Sleep apnea, when the patient may "forget" to breathe during sleep, is also treated. The documentary gives an understanding of the pain of sleep deprivation, and the extremes to which it may be manifest. Science can treat and cure some sufferers. For others, sleep disturbances remain incurable because even for the doctors in this film, sleep is still very much an enigma. 001355772 521__ $$aFor College; Adult audiences. 001355772 546__ $$aIn English. 001355772 60010 $$aLavie, P.$$q(Peretz),$$d1949- 001355772 650_0 $$aDreams. 001355772 650_0 $$aSleep disorders. 001355772 650_0 $$aSleep. 001355772 655_7 $$aDocumentary films.$$2lcgft 001355772 7102_ $$aDiscovery Channel (Firm) 001355772 7102_ $$aFilms d'ici (Firm) 001355772 7102_ $$aRadiotelevisione della Svizzera italiana. 001355772 7102_ $$aYLE Teema. 001355772 7102_ $$aZDF/Arte (Firm) 001355772 7102_ $$aZenit Arti Audiovisive. 001355772 85640 $$uhttp://www.aspresolver.com/aspresolver.asp?FLON;1784654 001355772 901__ $$aASP1784654/flon$$bVaAlASP$$c25041$$tbiblio 001355772 905__ $$uadmin 001355772 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1355772$$pGLOBAL_SET 001355772 910__ $$aJB 2015-01-07 001355772 944__ $$a1784654 001355772 945__ $$aThe Whole World 001355772 950__ $$aVAND$$aFLON$$aVSTR$$aVAND$$aVASS$$aSTSL$$aDVDF$$bPSYV$$bVAST$$bVLIV$$bFINT$$bFLN1$$cPSYV-V1$$cFLON-BF$$cFLON-IN$$cVAST-BF$$cVSTR-ST$$cPVST-BF$$cDVDF-ST$$cEBAP-BF$$cPDAP-BF 001355772 980__ $$aSTREAMING 001355772 980__ $$aBIB 001355772 982__ $$aStreaming Video 001355772 983__ $$aOnline
