SLEEP TALKS: Survive with Dr. Lynne Honey
Sleep is a basic need, just like food, water and shelter. Without it, our bodies will start to shut down. Most of us know what we need to get a good sleep: safety, comfort, privacy, warmth, quiet. For those who are homeless, this kind of sleep is almost always out of reach, day or night. Without a feeling of safety, our bodies won't allow us to completely relax and fall into the deep, restorative sleep that we need to survive.

Biography
P. Lynne Honey has a BA in psychology, and a PhD in experimental psychology, working in an animal lab that studied social learning. Social learning and animal behaviour, helped Honey see how both biology and experiences blend to produce behaviours, personalities, preferences, and even disordered behaviour. This interaction of nature and nurture is fundamental to understanding psychology, and thus to understanding human behaviour. Honey's research and teaching are focused on two main goals: how biological predispositions interact with our experiences and clarifying that group differences (like between sexes) are not the same thing as individual differences (between two random people). Within those two main goals, Honey conducts research and lectures on a variety of topics. She has published a number of papers looking at personality traits associated with social dominance, and how traits of social dominance affect attraction and rivalry. She has examined other aspects of attraction and mate choice, from both an evolutionary and a learning perspective.
