Newsmaker: Dr. Gilles Lavigne on Daylight Saving Time

National Sleep Awareness week runs from March 5 to 11.

That's no fluke.

At the end of this week is when Daylight Saving Time kicks in, and we lose an hour of sleep.

Dr. Gilles Lavigne spoke to Paul Karwatsky about the importance of sleep, the major causes of sleep deprivation, and whether or not people should be relying on sleeping pills.
