BBC Documentary: "10 Things You Need to Know About Sleep"

EDIT: The video has been taken down by YouTube since this post first went online. I'm still keeping this post in the blog just in case someone manages to sneak it back onto YouTube again. Sorry!

Having trouble getting a good night's sleep?  You're not alone.  In the UK alone, there are millions of insomniacs.  This BBC documentary, presented by BBC news presenter Kate Silverton.  The documentary is just under 35 minutes long.  This is not the entire documentary, unfortunately.  Things it covers includes:

  • How taking a bath about an hour before bedtime can help trick your body into getting sleep
  • How one family member's insomnia can affect the whole family
  • How spending less time in bed (sleep restriction) may help insomniacs get more sleep
  • Why the afternoon is the best time for a 20 - 30 minute nap
  • How what we drink before we sleep can impact the quality of our sleep
I just wish I could afford one of the blue lights talked about in the documentary.
