Now, in this episode, we decided to have our first non-markets related guest, Professor Adrian Williams. He’s the world’s leading authority on sleep. And I know that I, as well as our listeners, all have sleep issues. As for his background, Dr. Adrian Williams is the UK’s first Professor of Sleep Medicine. Adrian graduated from the University College London, and after a lectureship at the Cardiothoracic Institute Brompton Hospital in 1975, he took up an appointment at Harvard followed by an invitation to the University of California in 1977. In 1985, Professor Williams became tenured Professor of Medicine at UCLA and co-director of the UCLA Sleep Laboratory. In 1994, he returned to London where he established the sleep disorder center at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. In addition to his role as Medical Director of The London Sleep Center, Holly Street, Professor Williams holds the UK’s first Chair in Sleep Medicine at King’s College, London, UK.
