Biologist and Explorer Niall McCann talks sleep in new environments plus, how to shut off your brain when under stress or post injury

Biologist, award-winning TV presenter and National Geographic explorer, Niall McCann has slept in some of the world’s most dangerous environments - he’s rowed the Atlantic, skied across Greenland, and suffered a spinal cord injury after speedflying. You may have seen him on TV presenting wildlife documentaries including Biggest and Baddest, as well as working with Sir David Attenborough on a Perfect Planet.

In this episode, Niall talks to Dr. Sophie Bostock to share his stories and to discuss how to sleep in new or extreme environments, when under stress or post injury. This episode will be particularly helpful for you if you’re facing sleep problems due to medical issues or injuries or if things in life are just a bit challenging for you. Niall has a brilliant suggestion for us all to achieve that all elusive state of shutting off your brain.
