Sleep is vital to our overall health and well-being. For many of us, we find the simple task of sleep challenging, meaning we spend our most waking hours in a mild and ongoing state of sleep deprivation. By not sleeping we accumulate a sleep debt which must be repaid so that we do not suffer any major short, medium or long term side-effects. My objective is to debunk the mysteries of sleep for the everyday Australian, so you can get on with living a refreshed, happy and healthy life.  You can learn more by reading any specially selected articles prepared by our sleep research team or view any of my media appearances.  If you have a sleep related question you would like answered, please be sure to "Ask a Question".
