that study is in the journal of neuroscience. we have dr.inston chung you with us in the studio to talk about why quality sleep is to critical to our health. he is medical director of inpatient psychiatry at california medical center and works at the guisal school of medicine. nice to have you here. >> thank you for having me, cheryl. >> you went to med school, you're a doctor u. probably didn't sleep at all. >> there were a lot of nights without much sleep, correct. >> but it's so important to have a good, quality sleep. sleep hygiene is the new phrase, i think. >> absolutely. very important. simply put, restful sleep is critical for our mental and physical functioning. you described some of the ways that poor sleep can impact us physically, but certainly our mind throughout the day is involved in a lot of activities, planning, organizing ourselves. when we drive behind the wheel, if we lose hours of sleep at night, that can impact our ability to function in that way, in an appropriate manner. >> it's important to just shut the brain down f

in neuroscience is an author of the book the other brain dr fields welcome to the show thank you so let's try to get away from the politics for a second in the economics for a second try to put our finger on some what might be driving this from a neurological standpoint. what's your take on the psychology on capitol hill right now and what sort of fueled this dysfunction that we've seen over the last few weeks on this issue neurologically i think what we're seeing play out on the national stage is hurting behavior human her hurting behavior which is very important unconscious behavior that allows us to form complex societies and i think that can provide some perspective on what's going on so when you say hurting behavior that means people acting in a group in losing their kind of own agency to make right and wrong decisions of exactly group behavior is adopting a modeling the behavior of the group that you're in and an individual develop emotions and feelings thoughts and behavior according to the group around them and one of the important things about herding behavior that psychologists

he's the chair of neurosciences in new jersey.> one day you were supposed to be on with us and they said something was wrong. and doctors couldn't even figure out originally what was wrong. >> that's right. it took about i would say three days for the doctors to come up with a diagnosis. and i was in the hospital. what happened is it didn't show up in my blood. there were no antibodies. but i had so many symptoms. >> what were the symptoms? >> i had what it turned out to be the whole right side of my face was drooping. it looked like i had a stroke. and i had double vision. i could hardly see. >> in both eyes? >> i couldn't figure it out, about you we finally discovered it was in the right eye. this eye was paralyzed. i also felt like i had an iron corset wrapping around me and i couldn't breathe, i was numb, i had back pain, neck pain. >> it was excruciating? >> it was. >> and what you're supposed to do is tons and tons of antibiotics? >> not so much tons. there is an appropriate amount. if you get the right one in a timely fashi

which also contradicts vast neuroscience research that demonstrates every child as the capacity for intelligencec is mind set, not skin color or immigration status. research has shown that the child's mind set or the way he or she views themselves and their learning capabilities play an important role in their overall success. so in honor of our fourth education nation summit here at nbc and msnbc, as we're asking what it takes, as in what it takes for us as a nation to prepare students for college, career and beyond, we're examining what it takes to instill a growth mind set and what impact can that have on a child's education. just a few months ago the obama administration convened a group of experts to discuss how a child's belief about their abilities impact learning overall and overall achievement. as they noted in a blog post, quote, research demonstrates that when children learn their academic ability is not a fixed trait like eye color but instead is like a muscle that can grow and develop with hard work they do better in school. the most dramatic improvements are typically seen in low p
