Aussies Are Sleeping Less: What Is That Doing To Us?

New data shows that not only are Australians getting less sleep than they need but we're actually experiencing symptoms of the sleep disorder insomnia.

So how much do we really need and what is happening to us if we don't get it?

We find out what's happening in bedrooms across the country and what we can do to help us nod off.
