What is healthy sleep? Is it sleeping through the night, or getting 8 hours of sleep each night? Or is it waking feeling refreshed? How can healthy sleep be defined? We'll explore this topic, with help from Prof Daniel Buysse, Professor of Sleep Medicine at University of Pittsburgh and Brigid Walsh, General Manager of Golden Door Health Retreat.
Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep. Brought to you by SleepHub.
