In this Sleep Special we find out: is it safe and indeed beneficial to co sleep with babies? Why teenagers stay up late; and breaking the vicious cycle of pain and lack of sleep.Are you getting enough sleep!?This special edition of Catalyst examines the effects of sleep deprivation for mothers, teenagers and the old and aching among us. Is it safe and indeed beneficial to co sleep with babies? Why teenagers stay up late; breaking the vicious cycle of pain and lack of sleep. Are we getting enough sleep and what are the consequences if we're not?SLEEPING WITH BABYIs it safe to sleep with your baby? In Western societies the practice of parents and infants sleeping together can be seen as strange, unhealthy and dangerous. We are taught it can make the infant too dependent on us, or risk accidental suffocation. However baby sleep Expert Dr James Mckenna believes the common practice of parents sleeping apart from their baby is a 'mismatch' between cultural norms and infant biology. Maryanne Demasi reports.TEEN SLEEPIt is believed that teenagers experience a delay in their sleep phase timing in comparison to adults and younger children. If you struggle to get your teen out of bed in the mornings and off the computer at night, it's not your fault or theirs. They naturally want to go to sleep, and wake up, later. Graham Phillips reports.AGE AND SLEEPIs it true that poor sleep comes naturally with old age? Many older Australians sleep well even though their sleep time becomes shorter, lighter and more often disrupted. However, many older people don't get a good night's sleep due to chronic pain. One of the positive treatments for sleep disrupted by pain is cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. Tanya Ha reports. PRODUCTION DETAILSExecutive Producer: Nick Lee; Series Producer: Matt Scully |
