About this episode

Getting a good night’s sleep is something many of us can struggle with, especially if you’re pregnant or have young children, so we’ve partnered with John Lewis, who have an amazing sleep range and even offer a free virtual sleep appointment service to help you create your perfect sleep cocoon. In this fascinating bonus episode we talk to sleep expert, Dr Guy Meadows, about good sleep habits, what to do if you are having a sleepless night, how to encourage your new born baby into a sleep routine and how much sleep we actually need.
