How to give your child 2.4 hours of extra sleep? Fascinating work suggest:
1. Consistent bedtime
2. Avoiding sugary drinks
3. Removing toys and electronics from the bedroom
4. Calming activities pre-bed (e.g. reading, jigsaw puzzles)

We may sometimes feel that we can’t do much as individuals, but humanity is made up of individuals; we can make a difference. As individuals we can influence our own families. Our families can influence our communities and our communities can influence our nations.

"Detox smoothies" likely more harmful than helpful - if our liver can't "cleanse" toxins, a cup of juice won't do it.

Sleeping 5 h can increase hunger at night, reduce insulin sensitivity and make us prone to weight gain. Catching up on lost sleep in weekend does not make up for lost sleep.

Too many pursue dietary perfection yet neglect sleep.

However, lack of sleep;

- Dramatically worsens blood-glucose and insulin regulation
- Worsens markers of CVD risk
- Increases blood pressure & inflammation
- Linked to dementia risk

If you want to be healthy, sleep well.

Why is it that when someone refuses a drink because they’re a recovering alcoholic they’re revered like a hero, but when someone refuses because they don’t drink or don’t want a drink they’re looked at like they’re crazy or depressed?
