How did you sleep last night?

Perhaps you couldn't drift off, or maybe you woke in the middle of the night and then couldn't nod off again.

In this special edition of Inside Health we're talking all about insomnia. It\u2019s an issue that may affect many of us at some point in our lives \u2013 but for some it goes beyond a short period of not being able to sleep and becomes something more serious.

You\u2019ve been getting in touch with your questions, and James is joined by a trio of experts ready to answer to them: Dr Allie Hare, president of the British Sleep Society and consultant physician in sleep medicine at the Royal Brompton Hospital, Colin Espie, a professor of sleep medicine at Oxford University and Dr Faith Orchard, a lecturer in psychology at Sussex University.

We\u2019re going to find out why we get insomnia, when to seek help and how much factors like ageing, menopause, needing the loo or shift work matter. And we'll look at the latest advice and treatments. Can insomnia be fixed?
