Sleep is one of the key pillars of our everyday lives. Our cognitive function depends heavily on the amount of sleep and overall rest we get. Sleep deprivation is regarded as a form of torture because of how unnatural it is, it's something we all do, quite like breathing. Next week is Sleep Awareness Week which is an excellent reminder that we need to prioritise it. It's not a nicety, it's a necessity. This week we explore different aspects of rest, ensuring you get the sleep you need to be the best you!

Whether you were the one to end the relationship, or you were on the receiving end, it's important to understand how it will impact you. Come explore with us...

Being positive about our body can be challenging, especially when society and the media determine how they're meant to look. However, we have a lot to thank our bodies for. They protect and nourish us, and help us live our life in full. Some of us have such pre-determined views of 'beauty' or 'strength' that we forget to celebrate our bodies for the heroes that they are. We focus on that today.

Life is made of all kinds of different types of relationships... some are strong, loving and fun. Others are more formal and perhaps distant, and some can be downright toxic. This can be true for friendships, colleagues, partners, and even in our families. Sometimes people can be unpredictable, and in a way, that's what makes us so great. However, this can also be stress-inducing. This week we'll arm you with some knowledge to help you spot whether your relationships are hurting you more than they help you. This audio edition will be read by the 87% team.
