I’m always on the search for better sleep. I’ve tried supplements, better pillows, meditations but there always appears to be a day or 2 in my week where I don’t sleep well. And on the one hand, I was pleased to find out that that’s about average and that’s not particularly abnormal, but I still want better sleep.

Today, Dr David Garley is on the podcast, he works as a GP in Bristol and is director of The Better Sleep Clinic. He treats a wide range of sleep disorders, mainly working with insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea and sees first hand the impact that poor sleep can have on physical and mental health. But he also started his medical career in respiratory medicine, that we get into at the start of the podcast.

We talk about:

Warning signs of poor sleep and its detriment to lifespan
The systems that control sleep
How we can manage jet-lag
The effect of light on circadian rhythm
What to do when you can’t sleep
Whether sleep supplements are worth it
And if there is a diet for sleep?

Full of practical information, you’re going to love this episode!
