What are the consequences of not getting enough sleep? What is \u201cnormal\u201d sleep and what constitutes disordered sleep? Is there a link between sleep adverse health outcomes such as cancer, cardiovascular disease or Alzheimer\u2019s Disease?\n\n In the first episode of this two part series, Andrew and\xa0Dr Mark Donohoe\xa0explore\xa0these questions and more. Mark helps us separate the fact from the fiction,\xa0expertly guiding\xa0us\xa0through the\xa0intricacies of sleep and sleep disorders, discussing what sleep is, why we need it, what happens to us if we don\u2019t get enough of it, how anxiety affects sleep, and how we can optimise our sleep environment.\xa0\n\n Find today's show notes and podcast transcript: https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/podcast/sleep-and-sleep-disorders-part-1-dr-mark-donohoe\n\n\xa0\n *****DISCLAIMER: The information provided on FX Medicine is for educational and informational purposes only.
