Talking Green RETURNS: Wednesday, 11th November, from 6.30pm - 8.00pm for a panel talk on "The Science of Sleep"

Sleep is having a moment. From sleep trackers and bedtime supplements to elaborate evening routines, we're more obsessed with getting a good night's rest than ever. But with so much conflicting advice out there, it's hard to know what really makes a difference.

For our next Talking Green, we're bringing together an incredible line-up of experts from across sleep science, nutrition, psychology and wellbeing to separate the facts from the fads and get to the bottom of what it really takes to sleep better.

Your ticket includes a delicious Urban Greens salad on arrival and a goody bag.

What to Expect

Sleep myths, debunked: Do we really need eight hours? Can we catch up on lost sleep? And why do we still wake up tired?

Nutrition for better sleep: From magnesium and melatonin to caffeine and late-night eating - what actually makes a difference?

The art of switching off: How stress, movement and everyday habits affect our sleep, and what we can do about it.

Your sleep environment: How light, temperature, noise and screen habits affect your ability to unwind and get quality rest.

Sleep hacks worth trying: From bedtime routines to realistic wind-down rituals, discover simple, evidence-based habits you can start tonight.

Plus, your chance to put your own burning sleep questions to our experts in a live Q&A.
