This week on Food for Thought I have Dr Guy Meadows talking with me about sleep, the associated health issues that are linked with not having enough for both adults and children are extensive, in fact research is now starting to show that it can be linked with every chronic health condition. We talk extensively about the health impacts particularly our busy schedules have and around the research concerning children’s development and lack of getting to bed early due to all the devices they tend to use. A fascinating show, we also touch on his new book The Sleep Book: How to Sleep Well Every Night, a book he doesn’t mind you falling to sleep to he promises.
