Phyllis Zee - sleep, melatonin and circadian health clinics. Performance Around The Clock episode 25.

We continue our series from the Society for Research on Biology Rhythms (SRBR) biennial meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico.  In episode 25 of the Performance Around The Clock podcast, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Phyllis Zee, one of the world’s experts on sleep.  Dr. Zee is a Director of the Center of Circadian and Sleep Medicine at Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University.  She is also the Chief of Sleep Medicine in the Department of Neurology and Benjamin and Virginia T. Boshes Professor of Neurology.  In this episode, she talks about sleep disorders, using melanopsin as a chronobiotic, the interesting connection between melatonin and glucose metabolism and the establishment of circadian health clinics.
