Hello and a very big welcome back to The Food Medic - we are back for an extra special bonus episode on SLEEP! On the podcast today, Hazel is joined by Alan Flanagan who is currently pursuing his PhD in chrono-nutrition at the University of Surrey. They discuss how much sleep we need, what happens when we don't get enough sleep, how sleep deprivation affects our long term health and our appetite, the phenomenon of jet lag and social jet lag, and how exercise can support a restful nights' sleep.
