Unplug - A Lecture on Brain Health and the Power of Pauses

Unplug - Lecture on Brain Health and Pauses: Thursday 18 March 2027, 19:00–21:00, Kulturhuset Bispen, Haderslev. Tickets cost 150 kr.

Can breaks really make us smarter, happier, and more effective - and what happens to the brain when it never gets rest?

Troels W. Kjær is a physician and brain researcher who has written numerous books about the brain, most recently "Unplug" (2026). In this lecture, he explores the brain's mechanisms and explains how we keep it healthy. He demonstrates why pauses - both small everyday breaks and sleep - are not a waste of time, but a crucial foundation for learning, wellbeing, and mental strength. Perhaps the answer to our busy lives is not to work faster, but to dare to stop.

The lecture is part of "Brain Week" and is arranged in collaboration with Haderslev Municipality. Venue: Månen.
