Flame Challenge: What is Sleep?

The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science asks “What is Sleep?” Some Stony Brook University students seem to be already doing some head nodding experimentation in the library. If it’s your dream to take on this challenge, though, Stony Brook University Libraries can guide you to numerous scholarly resources. From subject guides on Polysomnography and Psychology to databases such as ScienceDirect, CINAHL Plus and Access Medicine, the Libraries are a great place to start your research. Be sure to check the library catalog as well, where a search for the keyword “sleep” will return 922 books on the topic and 167 electronic resources. Explaining science to eleven year old students is an exciting task and Stony Brook University Libraries are here to help!
