BBC’s The Forum: Insomnia
| |
|
Do you find it difficult to get a good night's sleep? If so, you are not alone. According to the US National Institutes of Health, between 6 and 30 percent of adults suffer from insomnia, or lack of restorative sleep. Since the establishment of sleep medicine a century ago, we have learned a lot about what causes sleeplessness. And yet, its prevalence remains high. On this edition of The Forum, Iszi Lawrence discusses our changing understanding of insomnia, and its hold over our imagination.
Tune in on Sunday, November 10th, at 12 p.m.

OU Musical Theatre: RENT
Set in NYC at the end of the last millennium during the height of the AIDS epidemic, before Giuliani “cleaned up” the city, before Disney took over 42nd street, before 9/11. New York City was grittier, cheaper, more intimate, and less gentrified, but still the center of the world - the epicenter of artistic expression. Watch the award-winning production RENT at OU's Elsie C. Brackett Theatre on November 22nd and 24th, and December 6th, 7th, and 8th.
