The National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep per night for adults between 18 and 64 years old, yet more than one-third of adults aren’t getting the recommended sleep and between 10% and 30% of adults struggle with insomnia. A host of studies and reports has linked insufficient sleep to depression, ADHD, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. Back in 2014, the CDC labeled sleep deprivation a public health epidemic— with over 70 million adults suffering from a sleep disorder.

On today’s episode I interviewed sleep and rest expert, Amanda Slinger to explore the topic. Amanda has a medical background and over 20 years of experience working in educating organisations on the critical role that rest and sleep play in optimising individual and collective performance. 

Leading her team at SleepSpot, she has built a visionary, science-based Employee Recharge Programme, which is reshaping the landscape of workplace wellbeing by helping organisations nurture a healthy, engaged and happy workforce. Amanda is Founder and Director of three companies across mining, healthcare, and L&D, she has a Bachelor of Science (Nursing), a Graduate Diploma in OHS, a Graduate Certificate in Business Management, is a Certified Sleep Practitioner, a Lead Auditor, a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and is currently studying a Graduate Certificate in Business Psychology.

Jamie Mitchel is a former Australian under-19s cricketer who now works at Autism Tasmania in a support coordination role.

Jamie courageously shared with me that he has been living with bottled up stress and PTSD for decades, after he was the victim of a traumatic incident that occurred while on a tour of India and Sri Lanka when he was 18. He has recently spoken out publicly about his sexual assault and the lack of support available for male survivors of sexual violence.

Jamie was open, vulnerable and honest in discussing the impact it has had on himself and those around him. His story shines a light on the importance of creating an open conversation around Men’s mental health and male sexual abuse.

In a world more designed to pull us apart than unite us, what can we do to reconnect to our innate human need to live life together?

At age 23, Joey felt so alone he attempted to take his own life. He awoke in the ICU 6 days later to find his right leg had been amputated. This same feeling of isolation and loneliness now effects 1 in 4 Australians. Now fully recovered from the experience, Joey searches for answers as to why it happened to him and how he can stop it happening again. Can we find a way to live together, as united communities, to fight loneliness and reconnect in a world that is designed to pull us apart?

The Great Separation is now available to stream free on SBS On Demand. It is a ground-breaking social insights documentary that follows protagonist Joey Fry on his journey to understand loneliness and connection, guided by experts along the way. The film has been created with the directorial oversight of award-winning filmmaker Shannon Swan and cultural observer Simon Hammond.

Trusting your instincts and pushing forward in spite of people telling you that it can’t be done often leads to incredible outcomes. Our gut instincts often guide us beyond the boundaries of what seems feasible on paper. Some of the most remarkable achievements have emerged when individuals chose to ignore the doubt & past statistics and push ahead with determination and resilience. Success often arises from a refusal to accept limitations and an unwavering belief in the possibility of achieving the seemingly impossible. Today’s guest lives by this mantra...
