Ironically a good solution for insomnia
Managed to listen to first 2 and half episodes but can't bear to hear any more, it's really quite dull.
It comes across as a set of personal therapy sessions for David Badiel instead of what could have been a more objective investigation and experiences from others.
There are specialists injecting their expertise but they often get talked over or interrupted as David jumps in and enlightens his own experiences once again.
At one point, a female specialist was explaining a technique called CBTI but halfway through, they edited another specialist taking over her which I thought pretty rude.
Overall, the voices were quiet and there was ambient music throughout and coupled with the banal conversations is probably a good way to drift off.

Far too much David Baddiel
The most positive way of getting to sleep is to count how many times Mr Baddiel says he is an insomniac, it has the same effect as counting sheep. Would like to have heard a lot more about CBTI other than the reasons why it wouldn't/couldn't work for him, as we are not all Stand up Comedians/writers/actors it would have been interesting to hear a less biased account of the procedure. As with any behavioural issues we have to want to change, I got the impression that David Baddiel prefers to carry on claiming to all and sundry that he is an insomniac.

Helps me sleep!
This is listening to someone who has issues with sleep discussing it with professionals, which I am finding genuinely interesting. However I have to listen to each episode several times because I listen in bed, and it’s quite relaxing to listen to so I always fall asleep, miss it all and have to catch up in the morning! So it is helping me sleep, just maybe not in the way it intended!

Learned more about David than sleep
I mean, it is true to what the title says, sleeping with David rather than actually learnings something about sleep.
The music and effects are very distracting, especially because cuts are almost every 30 seconds.
Very dismissive of real evidence and advice. I didn't even finish.

Sent me to sleep
It was free so tried it. Dull, then recalled this was the bloke that put black dye on his face & a pineapple on his head to mock a black footballer.

Really annoying music,
Like a shopping trip to house of frazer half asleep with David badiel rattling on in your ears...
Why the department store music?

disappointed
great idea but it's a shame David wasn't in a position to throw himself into the recommended treatments. I'd hoped for greater success for him or more info relevent for others with solvable issues. shame.

Wanted much more
I was interested in this podcast a lot,but disappointed. All because David, as he had his own ideas in his head. He didn't want to change, just wanted a robot to do the work instead of him. The professor and the therapist lady has some great suggestions, but David didn't bother to even listen to them. It's like a person goes to the gp and he thinks he knows more then the doctors and everything they say is nonsense unless they agree with you.
Don't recommend to waste your time for this one.
Sorry

Annoying background music
So irritated by unneccesary and very distracting music behind doctor's voice I had to switch off!

Disappointed
I think the presenter was more interested in listening to himself speak because he interrupted the good doctor so many times it was hard to follow the recommendations.
