Winter Blues

Do you get winter blues? Why does this happen? What can we do about it? It is all about light or are there other factors involved in winter blues? These are all questions we try to answer in this episode, with the help of Prof Greg Murray (Psychologist) and Martin Emtenäs (Swedish TV host).

Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) and Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking all things sleep.
