Where · 2700 SWISS Event Space.

Your brain doesn't stop working when you sleep. It cycles through stages with different jobs, and one of them, slow-wave sleep, appears to be doing something specific about anxiety. When you lose that stage, worry that would normally stay manageable can tip into something sharper. Dr. Eti Simon walks through what happens in deep sleep at the neural level, why losing it changes how your brain handles emotional regulation, and what that means for the 3 AM spike that feels different from daytime stress.
