This past week, I finished one of the most stressful books that I have ever read. Why we sleep by Matthew Walker. This non-fiction book goes through the biological basis of why we sleep taking us through from baby to adulthood. It delves into what a lack of sleep can do to your body and …
As I write this, it is the 2nd week of lockdowns here in Sydney. Today, we had 50 new cases. The most cases in a 24 hour period since this start of this delta wave. There are unofficial whispers that it is likely this lockdown will be extended. We still have until the 16th to …
