Baylor Sleep Lab

Happy Sleep Wisdom Wednesday! Did you know that playing two hours of Tetris, a puzzle video game, prior to sleep may lead to the images of geometrical blocks into your dreams? Leave a comment down below if you have mastered the game of Tetris and maybe even experienced the “Tetris Effect” yourself!

Welcome to our Featured Lab Member Friday! Today we are featuring our 2023-2024 Research Coordinator, Andrea!
Andrea is a senior biochemistry major on the pre-medicine track. After graduation, she plans to pursue a MD/PhD with an emphasis in sleep. Andrea’s favorite part about being in lab is spending time with the full time team and RA’s, and her best sleep tips are to dim the lights before bedtime and to sleep with blackout curtains. Thank you for all of your hard work, Andrea!

Happy Sleep Wisdom Wednesday! Did you know that limiting your sleep negatively impacts your immune system, making you more prone to catch a cold? Research has even shown that not getting enough sleep may reduce the efficacy of vaccines. Be sure to prioritize your sleep to keep your immune system strong this cold and flu season!

Thank you to the Mayborn Museum for having us to share some of our new exhibit activities - including an incredible new 3D brain model! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
