Synopsis:

This intimate and deeply personal 3 part series, sees renowned medical journalist Dr Michael Mosley return to Australia, to resolve his chronic, long-term insomnia. Michael along with some of the nation’s poorest sleepers, put their bodies on the line to trial a pioneering sleep treatment program being developed by the Flinders University Sleep Institute. The 30 participants in the trial are insomniacs like Michael, or are sufferers of sleep apnoea, and there are some who are in the highest risk category with both conditions. For Michael and his fellow participants, the trial is their last hope. Everything they’ve tried previously to fix their sleep issues has failed, wreaking havoc on their mental health and sowing the seeds of chronic disease. The scientists are on a mission to change that, by launching a world-first, multidisciplinary sleep trial with cutting edge sleep monitoring technology that aims to treat the root cause of sleep problems.
