Does the world have a sleep problem? Exploring how different cultures sleep, and the research being done to improve how we rest.
Insomniac Sean Allsop goes on a mission to find out how the world sleeps and asks: Are we in a global sleep crisis?
A third of the world’s population reportedly struggles with sleep. We go into a sleep science lab in the Netherlands, spend time on call at a sleep helpline and explore the evolution of sleep to understand why.
