What does economics have to do with sleep? A lot it turns out. Inadequate sleep is a major cause of ill health and loss of productivity in modern economies.

The relatively new discipline of behavioural economics can teach us a lot about designing systems to promote healthy choices including around sleep.

Many people are seen to have snoring and periods of stopping breathing during sleep. This is sleep apnea and it's very common. But does everyone who has sleep apnea need treatment? Recent research suggests that treating sleep apnea doesn't reduce future cardiovascular risk, but does reduce symptoms of sleepiness and depression. With the help of Prof Doug McEvoy, we discuss the latest research and talk through why to treat sleep apnea.
