How our ever-growing obsession with sleeping well is making us too anxious to sleep

How our ever-growing obsession with sleeping well is making us too anxious to sleep
No blue light after 8pm! Chamomile tea before bed! Eight hours or more... or else!
In recent years, the world of sleep has become far less relaxed than you’d expect. Between wearable sleep trackers and an ever-growing obsession with self-optimisation, sleep has become the latest on a long list of activities you’ve done your whole life, but apparently should be doing better.
But what if trying so hard is making sleep harder to come by?
Dr Moira Junge, a registered health psychologist and the CEO of the Sleep Health Foundation, wants to set the record straight. She breaks down a listener’s sleep diary and explains the tools and tactics at play – and why you probably don’t need to use them all, all the time!
