Radio Checklist

- Introduction for guests

- Write key questions

- Prep guests about radio compliance (don’t say a brand name, no swearing, etc.)

- Prepare music beds, stings, sound effects, etc.

- Plan presenter content

- Bring water

Questions for interview - Megan:

- How did your mental health effect your sleep?

- Did you ever worry about how much sleep you were getting?

- Did a lack of sleep effect your daily life?

- What is a normal amount of sleep for you?

- In general, are we too dependent on technology?

- Have you ever used an app, website or device to track your sleep?

Questions for interview - Kim:

- Have you ever had issues with sleep, like getting too much or too little?

- How long have you been using a smart watch?

- Why did you choose to buy one?

- Do you feel it has made a difference in your life?

- What is a normal amount of sleep for you?

- In general, are we too dependent on technology?

Presenter content:

- Talk about existing tech on the market

- Recommended amount of sleep, according to the Sleep Foundation:

- Children: 10-12 hours

- Teenagers: 8-10 hours

- Adults: 7-9 hours

- Amount of sleep varies depending on other factors like physical health, existing
sleep issues and lifestyle

- According to the NHS, one night of no sleep will not harm your health, but it can
make you irritable, lose focus easily, and your risk of accidents at home, work or
on the road increases

- Lack of sleep over a long period of time can make you prone to medical
conditions such as obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes

- Your body heals itself more while you sleep, so not sleeping well while you’re
recovering from illness or an injury can mean it takes you much longer to recover

- Sleep can help your mental wellbeing. When the NHS surveyed people with
anxiety and depression about their sleeping habits, most of them slept for less
than 6 hours a night

- To catch up on sleep, it takes more than one night of good sleep

- The NHS recommends that to catch up on sleep, you need to go to bed when
you feel tired and allow your body to wake you up naturally - so no alarm clocks.

- Don’t rely on caffeine or energy drinks as a short-term pick-me-up, they can help
boost your energy and concentration temporarily, but can further disrupt your
sleep patterns in the long run
