  • Summary

  • Scientists have discovered one simple trick which will make you live longer, reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer's, and make you slimmer, happier, and more attractive.

    It's not a magic pill or ointment- and it won't cost you anything. The secret? Harnessing the incredible power of sleep.

    Over six episodes, a world expert on sleep will act as a guru to an insomniac comedian, transforming their nocturnal habits and showing how you can do the same. In our hectic modern lives, sleep can often feel like a luxury - studies have found that 52% of Britons struggle to sleep, while around 70 million Americans suffer from a chronic sleep disorder. However, our sleep guru and their celebrity apprentice will reveal that everything we thought we knew about sleep was wrong, and teach us how to capitalize on one of the most often neglected resources for transforming our lives.

    Over the course of a journey to improve the star‚ sleep quality, they will demystify the science behind how and why we sleep so that we can use it to make concrete improvements to our health, wellbeing, and productivity.

Short but focused overview

I enjoyed this six part look at sleep. It was very effective to be hosted by an insomniac and an expert in sleep and sleep disorders. Well done.

review

All the background music makes it really hard to hear. Wasn't really impressed with the narrator in this context...I'm sure he's a great comedian but I felt he was trying to steal the attention from the drs.

more then I expected...

It wasn't quite what I expected it would be when I downloaded it... that being said I think it was better! Very informative, providing some insight to me and my difficulty falling asleep. Will be looking into some of the ideas and items mentioned in the podcast.

Don't listen to this before bed though... LoL

You want to be awake and mindful when listening to this series. Some chapters I listened to multiple times to really take in what was said...

It's alright

Thought there would be more tips for sleep. Lots of personal information and focuses on himself.

Great Listen but David needs to stop interrupting!

There's so much interesting info in this and I found it very helpful but I really wish that David didn't interrupt the experts so much. It's almost like he couldn't get enough of hearing himself speak.

Aside from the irritating host, great listen. I highly recommend.
