For the full story I encourage you to pick it up. It’s a truly eye-opening read about sleep and the importance of it.

Perhaps excited, perhaps worried or perhaps none of those things. We all want to be thought of well and no one looks forward to criticism, right? All being well we are appraised on how competent we are at our jobs and not on other aspects of ourselves.

But sometimes I think I know “facts”. That’s very much what this column is about. I hope you enjoy and find something to consider here. At the same time I implore you to check what I’m writing. In fact, it’s a good idea to fact check anything you read. In my experience people can be full of hot air and ego and like to act like they know things because it makes them seem smarter than you.
