Sleep is a process in which we spend one third of our life, and lack of sleep or inadequate sleep is linked with poor memory, poor thinking ability, labile emotions, depression and anxiety, lack of creativity and relationship issues. Moreover, inadequate sleep can lead with time to cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks or strokes, immunological problems, a variety of cancers, and to early onset of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s. We are delighted to welcome Dr Ivana Rosenzweig, a Consultant Psychiatrist, to Grace. Dr Rosenzweig is a certified Expert in Sleep Medicine, and one of the UK’s leading neuropsychiatrists, with more than a decade of clinical experience. Dr Rosenzweig researches the way sleep helps the brain to repair itself following daily stresses, and her therapeutic programme is based on the latest neuroscientific findings about how this process can be assisted. She uses her academic knowledge to inform her clinical approach in order to keep up the brain’s agility to cope with life stressors, and to achieve best cognitive performance. Dr Rosenzweig has published extensively in leading international scientific and clinical journals. She trained in Psychiatry in Cambridge, and has a research Doctorate in Physiology from the University of Cambridge, a Masters in Epileptology from King’s College London and a Diploma in Clinical Neurology from University College London. She is the founder of the Sleep and Brain Plasticity Centre at the renowned Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience in London.
