Desiring Sleep: On the Bioethical Dimensions of Managing Somnolence
This talk explores the unique bioethical challenges posed by sleep in both the clinical setting, for patients as well as clinicians, and as a public health issue. Examples of these challenges will be drawn from literature, film, and popular culture, with the aim of developing a sleep-critical paradigm for understanding the healthy management of somnolence within and without the clinical setting.
