Wake Up with Mike Jeffreys - Friday 27th March

Mike speaks with Lisa Segelov, Advocate & Notary based in Tel Aviv Israel, about how the effect of the Iran War is being felt in Israel.

Lisa Segalov is an Australian-born lawyer and Israeli citizen who lives about 30 minutes north of Tel Aviv. At one stage, she had two sons and a daughter serving in the Israeli military.

Lisa also knew people who were killed in the appalling October 7 Hamas terror attack, and for many years she has been a trusted voice of Israel for this station.

Mike is joined by sleep expert Amanda Slinger, founder of SleepSpot, to discuss whether new research suggesting that the busiest minds may actually get the deepest sleep... is actually true. 

The study found that vivid, bizarre, and immersive dreams are linked to feeling more well-rested - challenging the idea that quality sleep means the brain completely switches off.

Instead, people often feel more refreshed after active dreaming, even when the brain shows signs of activity.

With around 70% of people waking up unrefreshed, the findings echo Sigmund Freud’s idea that dreams help protect sleep by keeping disturbances at bay. While most associated with REM sleep, researchers say dreaming actually occurs throughout much of the night.

Are dreams the secret to a deep sleep?

Mike speaks with Nicole Jameson, Digital Strategist and Director of Dark Horse Agency, who says a landmark social media addiction trial could change everything.

For years, social media companies avoided legal responsibility by claiming they were simply digital “community notice boards.” But those platforms have evolved far beyond that - now driven by algorithms and endless scrolling designed to control what users see and keep them hooked. 

A key US case is now challenging that defence, arguing these companies should be held accountable for mental health impacts and regulated like traditional media under the Communications Act.

If the jury rules against them, it could open the floodgates to thousands of similar lawsuits—and signal a long-overdue shift in accountability.
