Better health? Sleep on it! WIDLIMS - What I Didn't Learn in Medical School
-
- Medicine
Dr Michael Farquhar, a consultant in sleep medicine, joins me for this episode on the importance of good sleep for health. We discuss alien abductions, caffeine naps and flexible consistency in sleep routines.
Essentially, we cover the basics of what sleep is and how to improve yours, and also spend some time focusing on how night shift workers can mitigate the risks of sleep deprivation and disrupted sleep patterns, as I have found this is not always covered in mainstream sleep advice. Shout-out to all the night shift workers, including new junior doctors and nurses joining the NHS in these trying times!
