GrownUpLand

39. Sleep

It usually happens in the bedroom, it's really nice to do it with a partner and we often don't get enough of it. Mae, Ned and guest host Sophie Duker are joined by comedy writer and actor Arnab Chanda to talk all things sleep! Hear a report from Ned's bed, Sophie investigates lucid dreaming, Mae just wants to be rocked to sleep by Jennifer Aniston and Steve Ali talks about life on the firefighting night shift. Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and BBC Radio 4.Produced by Al RiddellMusic by Mark Hodge and Omahrose, produced by Nick Sheldon.

"Now I’m a grown up… do I have to get married? Do I have to scrimp and save?? Do I have to host a dinner party??? GrownUpLand poses the most frustrating questions. Luckily, Sophie Duker, Heidi Regan and Ned Sedgwick are here to guide you through the bewildering pursuit of adulthood.
 
Through stupid challenges, useful facts and personal stories of rich victory and miserable failure, your guides will ensure you don’t feel alone in your hopeless endeavour to be a legit grown up. Plus, every week a special guest candidly shares their experiences, from failed dates and drunken mistakes to moments of clarity and pet hates. And the very handsome Steve Ali, a refugee from Syria now a writer and silversmith in the UK, helps to put a listener’s dilemma into perspective.
