Oh What a Night, for the Ontario PCs & Understanding Sleep

Ontario Progressive Conservatives gathered in Markham to watch the results of the leadership campaign on Saturday - except there were no results. A glitch in the voting process meant that no clear winner was evident. Christine Elliott contested the party's decision to declare Doug Ford the winner, until Sunday night, when she conceded and pledged to support Ford. Joining The Agenda to review the details are Kevin Weatherbee, PC party regional VP, and Hartley Lefton, chair of the Leadership Election Organizing Committee. Then, sleep occupies about one third of a human life span and recent research is demonstrating just how critical sleep is for human health. Sleep researchers John Peever and David R. Samson join Steve Paikin to discuss how evolution has shaped human sleep, the sleep-disruptive influence of computers and smart phones, and the links between poor sleep and dementia. Finally, research has exposed a strong connection between Alzheimer's disease and poor sleep. We're also beginning to understand the role that deep sleep plays in cleansing the brain of waste products that are linked to degenerative brain diseases including Alzheimer's. The Agenda welcomes Aileen Burford-Mason, author of "The Healthy Brain," to discuss how this ties in to dietary habits.
