Waarom slapen we zo slecht?

In the Netherlands, 1.3 million people sometimes or regularly work at night. Wonderfully quiet, some say. But that will cost you your night's sleep. Because those who work at night are more likely to have sleep problems. The Health Council concluded in 2017 that night work is unhealthy and should be limited as much as possible. But will that work? And are companies doing enough to prevent complaints due to night work? Pointer delves into the world of the insomniacs. We set off in the middle of the night with truck driver Dion and visit former colleague Chiel, who said goodbye that night after years of loyal service due to chronic lack of sleep.
