Sleepless nights with DJ Daisy
WHILE most 23-year-olds are sleep-deprived from partying too much – in normal times at least – it is a very different story for Kiss FM radio DJ Daisy Maskell.
She has a more serious sleep problem, explored in a new BBC Three documentary Insomnia and Me, where she meets other sufferers and looks at treatments.
The hour-long film, due to air this spring, tells how she struggles to drift off until the early hours.
It also explores how hospital admissions due to shut-eye troubles have doubled in the last seven years – while Covid stresses have worsened the situation, particularly among young people.
Daisy said: “This sleep disorder has impacted much of my adult life and this film will follow my own journey and that of other sufferers, tracing its origins to discover what really goes on while the rest of the world is sleeping.”
