Researchers at UC Berkeley’s Center for Human Sleep Science found a link between sleep deprivation and a decline in helpfulness in a study released Aug. 23.

The event is described on its website as “a 240 mile adventure through the deserts, canyons, and mountains around Moab, Utah,” with upward of 29,400 feet of total climbing. To put that into perspective, Mount Everest’s peak looms 29,029 feet above sea level.

With more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, for which there is currently no treatment, UC Berkeley researchers have found that one preventative defense against the disease is deep sleep, according to a study published Sept. 3.

UC Berkeley researchers published a study Monday in the Journal of Neuroscience describing the links between sleep deprivation and pain amplification.

Staying up that extra hour to study or socialize can lead to more than just exhaustion—it can leave people less healthy and more socially isolated, shows a recent UC Berkeley study.

AB 807 would authorize the state Legislature to consider eliminating the time switch and move to daylight saving time all year.

While UC Berkeley students may be notorious for staying up studying and messing up their sleep schedules, according to a study recently published by campus researchers, such sleeping habits could be detrimental to brain health if continued later in life.

Lack of sleep and unhealthy eating habits are correlated, according to a UC Berkeley study published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.

Like many UC Berkeley students, Ryan Peden is a chronic late-night sleeper. His regular sleep schedule is from 3 or 4 a.m. to about 8 in the morning, which is 2 to 3 hours less than the widely recommended 7-to-8 hour sleep period.
