However, according to Philips&#8217; research, the more time you spend sitting each day, the more likely you are to develop one of these health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also discovered that regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity was associated with improved sleep quality among older adults who reported daytime sleepiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her research also focuses on exercise, sleep disorders, and treatment methods for these disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philips&#8217; studies indicate that physical activity is important to maintaining good health as we age.

His most famous discovery was REM sleep.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aserinsky used electrodes to measure brain activity during sleeping subjects&#8217; eye movements. He found that their brains were active even though their bodies were inactive. This led him to believe that the brain was active during REM sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aserinsky also pioneered advances in electroencephalography (EEG). This method allowed scientists to record electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp or within the brain. Brain scientists still use this method today in hospitals around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/science-nature\/the-stubborn-scientist-who-unraveled-a-mystery-of-the-night-91514538\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smithsonian Magazine<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"sleep research\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xMH9eF5Bq70?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_William_Dement_1928-2020_Father_of_Sleep_Medicine\"><\/span>#1.

He was born in Washington in July 1928 and educated at the University of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Dement spent his career studying the effects of sleep on human health. He established a research center for sleep science at Stanford University. This institution continues to be a leader in the field of sleep medicine today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dement also contributed to the understanding of all kinds of sleep deprivation and sleep disorders, from sleep apnea to narcolepsy. His work has been instrumental in developing treatments for these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with his work at Stanford University, Dement was also one of the first people in the United States to study sleep medicine. He was one of the first scientists to encourage research into all aspects of sleep and how it affects health and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the best William Dement quote?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Sleep is an essential part of life.
