In 'The art and neuroscience of rest' Claudia Hammond will examine why rest matters, why the brain needs rest as well as sleep and how we can find more rest in our lives.

Using the results from the Rest Test, the largest global study of rest involving 18,000 people from 135 countries.

What is the essence of rest and how can we find more of it? Claudia will offer us a roadmap for a more restful and balanced life.
