Sleep Talk - Talking All Things Sleep

Teenagers who can’t get out of bed in the morning or can’t get to sleep at night are a common problem we see in the clinic. They can be up late on their smartphones and tablets consuming content or interacting via social media. What impact does the light from these screens have on sleep? Does light from screens impact on the sleep of adults as well? We explore these questions with Dr Sean Cain, an expert in the effects of light on sleep and health from Monash University. Dr Moira Junge (Health Psychologist) and Dr David Cunnington (Sleep Physician) host the monthly podcast, Sleep Talk, talking about all things sleep.
