James Hamblin, a doctor-turned-journalist and creator of a series of videos at TheAtlantic.com, brings his offbeat wit to such timeless questions as: How much sleep do you really need?

Underneath the curiosity factor and his nerdy charm, Hamblin conveys useful information. That’s a win-win for everyone.
