Australians have a sleeping problem. The most conservative estimates show one in 10 have a sleep disorder, which is having an impact on their safety, wellbeing and productivity.
This ends up costing almost a $1 billion a week. And that’s not all. The total cost of inadequate sleep is thought to be as high as $75 billion a year.
We’re not alone either. International research shows places like the US, the UK and Europe are facing similar problems, with similar costs.
Guests:
Shanthakumar Rajaratnam, Chair of the Sleep Health Foundation
Professor Ron Grunstein, The Woolcock Institute
Wendy Troxel, The Rand Corporation
Zafina Ademi, Professor of Health Economics, Monash University
