Prioritising sleep is a pillar of good health but with so many factors that can disrupt a good night’s rest, it can be hard to get it right all the time.

Joining Clare Mckenna to discuss what we can do to ensure we get the right kind of sleep is Dr. Neil Stanley, Director of Sleep Science at Sleep Station.org and author of 'How to Sleep Well: The Science of Sleeping Smarter, Living Better, and Being Productive'.

Also on this week's episode, Eric Donavan, host of the 'Hooked on Health' podcast, discusses his battles inside and outside of the ring and the path that led him to study counseling.
