In this episode, I speak with Professor Guy Leschziner, a consultant neurologist and author of three bestselling books, including: “The Man Who Tasted Words”, “The Secret World of Sleep”, and “The Seven Deadly Sins”, which this interview focuses on. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, and clinical neurology, Guy makes a compelling case that what we label as “sin” may often have a biological cause, and isn't necessarily a moral failing. Expect to learn: — Why our so-called “sins” evolved as adaptive traits—and why they still serve a purpose — How free will may be more of a spectrum than a binary — Why understanding the biology of behaviour could radically change the criminal justice system — The disturbing story of Robert Alton Harris—and what it reveals about judgment, compassion, and accountability And more.

Myslíte si, že ve spánku spí i váš mozek? Co se děje s naším mozkem v noci? Renomovaný neurolog sdílí skutečné příběhy lidí, kteří si nemohou v noci pořádně odpočinout: Žena ve stavu hlubokého spánku, která se oblékne, odemkne auto a ujede několik kilometrů, než se vrátí do postele. Muž, který ve spánku spořádá obsah ledničky, aniž by o tom věděl. Teenager postižený syndromem Šípkové Růženky prospí několik dní v kuse hlubokým spánkem a když se konečně probudí, trpí nutkavým přejídáním, agresivitou a projevy hypersexuality. Pacienti doktora Guye Leschzinera bývají často zoufalí lidé, žijící bez oddychu těla a mysli, kteří trpí nejrůznějšími druhy spánkových poruch. Na konkrétních případech několika z nich můžeme sledovat, jak se s těmito poruchami vyrovnávají nejen oni, ale i členové jejich rodiny, a jak neuvěřitelnou podobu může jejich utrpení mít. Nespavost, narkolepsie, noční můry, apnoe či náměsíčnost jsou ty časté poruchy, kterými trpí mnoho lidí, pak jsou zde ale extrémní podoby obtíží se spánkem. Démonické halucinace, které děsí s ochromujícím účinkem. Syndrom neklidných nohou, který se ve spánku projevuje kopáním, což obtěžuje blízké postižených osob. Nesynchronizovaný cirkadiánní rytmus, který je mimo přirozenou denní a noční dobu. S nejnovějšími poznatky o příčinách těchto poruch je věda schopna nejen zlepšit naše fyzické a psychické zdraví, ale i naše kognitivní schopnosti a přinést celkové štěstí. Doktor Guy Leschziner působí jako neurolog v Guy´s Hospital a St. Thomas Hospital v Londýně, kde vede Centrum léčby spánkových poruch, což je jedna z nejvýznamnějších spánkových laboratoří v Evropě, a také jako profesor neurologie a spánkové medicíny na londýnské King´s College. Dr. Leschziner pracuje jako neurolog-konzultant na neurologickém oddělení a v centru pro poruchy spánku v nemocnicích Guy's and St Thomas‘ Hospitals, London Bridge Hospital, Cromwell Hospital a One Welbeck.

Right now, 4.7 million people in the UK are living with diabetes, with the vast majority having Type 2, which is linked to our diet. There's twice the number of people living with diabetes now than there was 20 years ago - and those numbers keep on rising. In this episode, Anna Richardson talks to Dr Alex Miras, a consultant endocrinologist at HCA Healthcare UK’s London Bridge Hospital about what we need to know about diabetes and what we can do to prevent it. We also hear how bariatric surgery can help to change the way we think about hunger.

We talk with Guy Leschziner, world-renowned neurologist, sleep physician and the author of a new book, The Nocturnal Brain: Tales of Nightmares and Neuroscience, a fascinating journey interweaving real life stories with cutting edge sleep science.

I'm sitting here today with Dr. Guy Leschziner and he's very kindly invited me down to Nuffield House, which is the location of the Sleep Disorders Centre at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital in London. Thanks very much. And good morning Guy. Guy Leschziner: 01:53 Morning. Jeff Mann: 01:54 Let me give you a brief introduction. Guy is a consultant neurologist at the Sleep Disorders Centre at Guy's and St Thomas'. You're the clinical lead, is that right? So you head up the clinical team here. He's also a reader in neurology at Kings College and you do clinics here in neurology and sleep disorders and epilepsy. You also lecture and you've got lots and lots of research interests in various sleep disorders. If that's not enough, also in the last couple of years, Guy has also been heavily involved in some public education projects. One of them we're here to talk about specifically, which is a new book. It's a great book, called The Nocturnal Brain. We'll talk a little bit more about that later. And also you've recently done a three part series on BBC Radio Four and a TV series, the Secrets of Sleep. Now, how do you manage to fit all that in? Guy Leschziner: 02:49 The answer to that is with great difficulty. I think it's always a bit of a juggling act and certainly it's a case of prioritizing certain projects at any one time. So I think probably everything suffers including personal life, but it's just a case of trying to achieve that right balance. Jeff Mann: 03:09 So it's probably an impossible question, what's a typical day for the clinical lead at Guys? Guy Leschziner: 03:15 The typical day is much like any other consultant really. I do clinics and I do ward rounds on the neurology side. Some management issues, particularly in terms of dealing with a very big service like the Sleep Disorder service here. We've got, I think at last count 15 or 16 doctors of which the vast majority are consultants that work within the sleep disorder centre. 03:43 So you can imagine that when you're running a clinical service trying to get commercial and research trials going and all the management that comes with being within a large bureaucratic organization like the NHS, that keeps you pretty busy. Jeff Mann: 03:59 So I wasn't aware, I'm actually just down the road from here. I'm two stops on the metro, but this is one of the largest sleep units in Europe, I believe. Guy Leschziner: 04:07 I think that it's very difficult to get figures,
