Why 8 hours of sleep is a myth and where the health and safety industry is going wrong with sleep | Dr Neil Stanley

The idea that you need 8 hours of sleep is a myth, and today we
dive into that myth with renowned sleep expert Dr. Neil Stanley.


With Neil, we discuss the 8-hour myth in sleep as well as how
Neil helps companies with their employee's sleep. Neil talks us
through some of his previous experiences and experiments within
the sleep research field in addition to where he feels the health
and safety profession may be going wrong when it comes to
incorporating sleep into the wider well-being sphere. 


With Neil, we also touch on the potential dangers of non-expert
sleep advice and his feelings on the ‘sleep advice industry’ that
may be doing more harm than good when it comes to helping
people. 


This is a good discussion if you want to find out more about the
kind of methods that some companies have used to optimise sleep
and therefore look after the well-being of their workers.
