        Dream reading is no longer science fiction. Sleep damage reversal could be a reality. And nightmares? They might become controllable. Dr. Matt Walker unveils these groundbreaking possibilities in sleep science. From antioxidant therapies (Kevin is backing a study here) to brain-zapping sleep enhancers, we're exploring innovations that are revolutionizing our understanding of sleep.
        Dr. Matt Walker, is the Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at UC Berkeley and founder of the Center for Human Sleep Science.
