From sleep deprivation to sleep eating. Napping to teeth grinding. Ask us anything. We’ve got you covered. 

In this episode, Dr Mariam and Claire Murphy answer all your questions about sleep and go through the four stages. They discuss what sleep deprivation does to you physically and mentally and how changing hormones can stop you getting a good night’s rest.

They talk to the experts to answer questions about how to conquer insomnia without drugs, how to fall asleep and stay asleep and whether not being able to sleep is inevitable as you get older.

They also discuss whether teeth grinding impacts your sleep quality, why you do that weird jump thing when you’re dozing off and how exactly to let thoughts ‘pass you by’ when trying to meditate.

Also, how common is sleep eating and is sexsomnia actually a real thing?
