Sleep Talk - Talking all things sleep26 Jan 2018

Sleep around the world

Understanding sleep beliefs and behaviours in different cultures can help better understand your own beliefs about sleep, and in turn change your expectations around sleep. In this episode we talk to Dr Andrew Beale on sleep in two communities in Mozambique, and Dr Himanshu Garg on sleep in India including common sleep problems, sleep behaviours and traditional beliefs around sleep.

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