I loved this episode. I am a fan of horror, thriller and ghost stories, and I am intrigued by the relationship between sleep and nightmares. In this episode, Brian and I discuss his work, including his book Sleep Paralysis: Historical, Psychological, and Medical Perspectives and Monsters on the Couch: The Real Psychological Disorders Behind Your Favorite Horror Movies.
Brian also conducts research, and many of his papers can be found on Pub Med: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
