In this episode we sit down again with Lucy Whitehall to discuss the sleep cycle - how it works, what are the stages, are some stages more important than others for children and again for adults?

We ask Lucy to explain circadian rhythm and if we don't work with it what might go wrong in terms of health (shift workers). We discuss the importance of daylight to reset the body clock and darkness to promote the release of melatonin.

Lastly we look at how much is the ideal number of hours.
