RNIB Conversations

It might be true that many of us may not get enough sleep as we should each night so for this week’s check in with Glasgow Based Pharmacist Elizabeth Roddick it is all about sleep.
Elizabeth began by explaining to RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey why sleep is so important for us all, thinking about the best time to get to sleep and how much sleep we might need a night too. 
Then to whether taking naps during the day are a good thing or not.
Ending with a reminder from Elizabeth about heat exhaustion following on from all the recent heat waves and high temperatures that we have had over the summer which may have caused people to not get enough sleep too.
