About this listen

Sleep B*llocks is a podcast that helps you navigate the guff, bunkum, condwallop and baloney that is often spouted by sleep experts and brands. It will help you separate fact from fiction, and the myths and fads from the stuff that actually works. Presented by James Wilson, one of the world’s leading sleep experts, who has probably worked with more poor sleepers than anyone else in the field, James sees the damage that Sleep B*llocks does to the 100,000’s of people’s sleep he has worked with, and how the fibs and snakeoil we are sold by expertise and brands, often leads to use being parted from our hard earned cash, and leaves us sleeping worse.

  • Sleep Brands And The Fibs They Tell
    Apr 24 2025

    In this episode James discusses the fibs that sleep brands tell about their products and services, and how they want you to believe that what they are peddling will solve your sleep problem, without even knowing what your problem is.

    Whether it is the eye mask that claims to leave you never having to use botox, or the brain supplement, whose founder claims it, guess what, cured his insomnia, James asks can we trust what most sleep brands are telling us.

    In the Not B*locks section, James recommends the podcast from Louise Berger who runs the Insomnia Clinic at the Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. You can listen/watch her podcast here https://www.royalsurrey.nhs.uk/saygoodnight

  • What's a sleep dictator? And are you, your partner, pet or child one?
    Nov 3 2023

    Often the poor sleep in a house can come from one person or animal and the sleep environment and routine they create causing everyone else to sleep poorly. They are a sleep dictator. I help you understand what one is, give examples of their behaviour and advice on how to address the issue.
