"Not only does sleep deprivation on the duration of illness and total sleep deprivation makes it even leads to death - a lot of diseases are also associated with sleep disorders," says Prof. Uhlemann. But that would not be adhered to by many therapies. A vicious cycle - patients sleep poorly and are thus weakened by the lack of sleep and often increase their suffering.

With this function, the "guardian of sleep as a physical and spiritual peace" deals on 8 December 2007, the symposium on reason and plausibility in the natural medicine at the University Hospital of Jena.
