What goes on in the heads of leaders faced with the world's major challenges? What keeps them up at night? How do they fall asleep when they have so much responsibility? How do they get to sleep when there is so much at stake? What gives them insomnia?   International leaders and decision makers are invited into the studios of the Sciences Po School of Journalism.
