In short, improve your life? Make Me Stay Awake moves from the quirky to cutting edge science, as Michael Mosley tests the extraordinary claim that we might only need a few hours of sleep - if that - each night. http://www.enhancetv.com.au/tvguide/displaytv.php?RecordId=157688 Looks at stem cell research and its potential, following three young people with currently untreatable conditions. Dean Thurd, whose inherited dilated cardiomyopathy could kill him at any time, visits the London Chest Hospital where a trial is under way to inject adult stem cells directly into the heart wall; Anthony Bart, whose leg was amputated after a rugby accident, heads to Tampere University, Finland, where a team is working on adult stem cells collected from human fat; and Sophie Morgan, paralysed from the waist down after a car accident, finds out whether there really has been a breakthrough that could get her back on her feet, at the University of California. http://www.enhancetv.com.au/tvguide/displaytv.php?RecordId=161445 In 1972, an American scientist named Dr David Rosenhan proved that psychiatry, the science of the mind, couldn't tell the difference between sanity and insanity. This insightful two-part observational reality series explores the fine line between the two, challenging some of the pre-conceived notions of mental illness along the way. http://www.enhancetv.com.au/tvguide/displaytv.php?RecordId=161602 Where does the line between sanity and madness lie and is it easy to recognise? This program re-creates a 1972 experiment in a search for the difference between the mentally ill and the supposedly sane. Ten subjects, including five with a history of mental illness, are forced to work together, face stressful situations and confront their fears. But will the manic depressives and obsessive compulsives reveal themselves? Observing the subjects is an international panel of experts who attempt to tell which is which. http://www.enhancetv.com.au/tvguide/displaytv.php?RecordId=171533 Sister Jen's nightshift kick-starts as a stabbing victim, Colin Richards, who's 35, is rushed in by ambulance with injuries to his lung, arm and liver.
