How to Get a Good Night Sleep

Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford try to cure their respective sleeping disorders - lack of sleep and snoring - trying new beds and meeting other sufferers

One third of the UK population suffers from sleep problems, and in this two-parter Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford attempt to cure their own sleep issues and give the rest of us a few tips, too.

Eamonn admits he usually survives on less than four hours a night, while Ruth confesses she snores.

After trying out some of the most expensive beds in the world, they buddy-up with another pair of restless sleepers.

Ruth and Jenny are on a mission to cure their snoring by testing the latest ‘cures’, especially as Jenny’s is as loud as a low-flying aircraft, while Eamonn and fellow insomniac Sam try a strict bedtime routine to see if that can successfully send them off to the Land of Nod.
