Science Cafe | You are Getting Sleeeepy…, Oct. 11

Science Café presents Dr. Julie Suhr discussing “You are Getting Sleeeepy…” on Wednesday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m. at the Baker Center Front Room.

Not sleeping can have implications for everybody, but the effects can vary significantly by age. Suhr, Professor of Psychology, will discuss these issues during the Science Café talk.

“Be careful to not fall asleep during the talk,” Suhr said, “or you might get used as a case example.”

Suhr noted that caffeine and other stimulants can give you a short burst of energy, but beware. In addition to the crash, there can be real, long-term effects.

So, while the first 50 Café attendees get free coffee, don’t overdo it!
