Welcome to Run With Me On This - a history podcast with a difference. Each episode covers an interesting topic and you can choose if you want to listen to it with music or without. The beat free version is perfect for those wanting to listen, learn and laugh whether you're getting on with your day or relaxing in the bath!
This episode is all about SLEEP AND DREAMS. I go back to Ancient Greece to find out why Aristotle thought sleep was related to food digestion; then whizz over to join Sigmund Freud on his sexy dream couch. I explain how sleeping tablets are named after a German waitress with special urine; and find out which animal has the worst sleeping habits.
