My name is Yousef, and I live (temporarily) in London. I am currently in the last year of my doctoral degree (soon to be a doctor :). I am married and have a daughter (5 years old now). When I’m not at work, I usually read a book, play football or travel with my family. I am in love with science and I like to promote science to the public. One of my dreams is to help poor people get into science.

My work involves helping people with sleep problems. One of the things that I usually do is going to my patients home and do something called “sleep study”. A sleep study is a procedure we do so we can make sure if someone has sleep problems or not. The sleep study will tell us if someone is awake or sleep, and if he/she is sleeping well or not.

I spend most of my day at the office. Then I go to home where I enjoy some time with my family, including playing and reading to my daughter. In weekends, I usually go out and discover London or sometimes I go to the country side enjoying the snow in the winter and the sunshine in the summer.
