What is Daisy Maskell: Insomnia & Me?

23-year-old Daisy, who presents KISS Fresh Breakfast between 7am-11am, has worked with the BBC to create a short film which shows her digging deep into the cause of her Insomnia, as well looking into both treatments and cures for thousands of young people who suffer with the disorder across the UK.

Speaking about the documentary, which will air on BBC Three on Tuesday 10th August, Daisy said: "I'm so excited to be making my first documentary with the BBC on a subject that I, like many others, have been affected by: insomnia. This sleep disorder has impacted much of my adult life and so this film will follow my own journey and that of other sufferers, tracing its origins to discover what really goes on while the rest of the world is sleeping."

Fiona Campbell, Controller, BBC Three, added, “We’re really looking forward to welcoming Daisy to BBC Three for this film which is a really important look at insomnia. We know it is a growing problem among our audience and we hope this documentary helps to shed some light on the issue.”
