About us

little sleepyhead is led by Sam Oakley and Stephen Martin. We are helped by chief tester George and many others, big and small, who have lent a hand or an ear to our project.

We particularly want to thank the midwifery staff and patients of Guernsey’s Princess Elizabeth Hospital and our friends at the National Childbirth Trust.

You can contact us by email, telephone or beautifully handwritten letter.

Sam Oakley

Sam is best known for her television presenting work with credits that include Watchdog, Healthcheck, World in Action, Countryfile and the History Channel.

Sam now works across media and PR and is the mother of chief tester George and elder sister Harriet.

Stephen Martin

Stephen qualified as a sound engineer before building a career in marketing and journalism. He was an editor at the BBC for seven years.

Stephen is married with a six year old daughter and lives near Petersfield in Hampshire.

George Benjamin Green

As our chief tester, George brings to our project an entire lifetime’s experience of sleeping, waking up and then falling asleep again. His favourite little sleepyhead CD track is the tumble dryer.
