Cold Therapy - Ep 5: Sleep and the Cold

There’s a chill in the air as the winter months come around
again. But the cold isn’t always something to fight or guard
against. With a little bit of care, you can invite the cold into
your life - with real benefits for health and mood. In each
episode of this new podcast series, Dr Michael Mosley uncovers
the science behind a different way you can harness the power of
the cold, alongside the very latest research and atmospheric
sound design.


In this final episode, how keeping a colder bedroom can lead to
better, deeper sleep - and how our sleep is affected by the
changing climate.
