On Sleep: Fleur Anderson in conversation with Sabra Lane

Sleep-or lack of it-is asserting its silent influence on our world

On Sleep is the story of our love-hate relationship with slumber. Part-time insomniac Fleur Anderson ponders the big questions: Why can't I sleep? Do politicians and other high-fliers ever admit they too are exhausted? Do they get enough sleep to make sensible decisions? Where is society heading, and why did I have that glass of cab sav?

Fleur Anderson is a former political journalist and parliamentary sketch writer with the Australian Financial Review, ABC's Insiders panellist, a past vice-president of the Federal Parliamentary Press Gallery and a founding member of Canberra's Women in Media.
