Sleep and Sleep Disorders: Part 1 with Dr Mark Donohoe

What this episode covers

What are the consequences of not getting enough sleep? What is “normal” sleep and what constitutes disordered sleep? Is there a link between sleep adverse health outcomes such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer’s Disease? In the first episode of this two part series, Andrew and Dr Mark Donohoe explore these questions and more. Mark helps us separate the fact from the fiction, expertly guiding us through the intricacies of sleep and sleep disorders, discussing what sleep is, why we need it, what happens to us if we don’t get enough of it, how anxiety affects sleep, and how we can optimise our sleep environment.
