What’s Ruining Your Sleep at Night? - And How To Fix It

Dr Amir Khan and Cherry Healey take a look at what’s really going on when you just can’t sleep. It can affect everything, from your mood, your hormones, your heart, your energy, your relationships. Amir and Cherry talk about hot flushes and night sweats to snoring, sleep apnea, restless legs and 2am anxiety. You’ll hear the science behind disrupted sleep and what it means for your long-term health. Plus, they talk about what’s normal, what’s hormonal, and what might need checking out, including the red flag symptoms you shouldn’t ignore! And, they tackle the trends (mouth taping, nasal strips, wearable tech) and separate helpful habits from hype. Have a question, feedback, or want to suggest a topic?
