Lecture on the subject of sleep
Overview
Intro
Open Lecture on Sleep: Meaning, Biology & Society, with practical tips, exchange and aperitif on 18.4.2026 in Wolfhalden or online.
On Saturday, April 18, 2026 at 7.30 pm, a special open lecture on the topic of sleep will take place in the resonanzraum in the Alte Mühle in Wolfhalden, including an aperitif. Dr. Stefan Telser and Veronika Seifert invite you to an inspiring evening that deals with the importance of sleep and wakefulness for our lives.
Based on a thought freely adapted from Kurt Tucholsky - "Give people sleep so that they are awake when they are awake" - sleep is considered not only as a biological need, but also as a social and cultural phenomenon. The evening takes the famous sentence as a wake-up call to take a closer look at the interaction between sleep and wakefulness.
The focus will be on the biological basis of sleep and wakefulness and their interaction in the human body. The role of sleep in our modern society and its influence on health, performance and interpersonal relationships will also be discussed. Cultural aspects and different perspectives on sleep are also included. In addition to theoretical insights, practical approaches will also be presented. The speakers will talk about ways to support the transition between wakefulness and sleep and promote a restful awakening. Some methods and exercises can be tried out together so that participants can take away concrete ideas for their own everyday lives.
The event is aimed at all interested parties - regardless of whether they are concerned with the topic of sleep for professional, health or personal reasons. Questions from the audience are expressly welcome and should help shape the evening in a lively way.
After the event, all guests are invited to an aperitif, which offers space for exchange and encounters.
Participation is possible both on site at the resonanzraum in the Alte Mühle (Hinterergeten 132, CH-9427 Wolfhalden) and online.
