Walk the Pod: 10 minute walking

Wrapping up our sleep series with one last thought on sleep from Mighty Marcel in the Netherlands. Marcel reflects on a few night’s sleep without his preferred pillow. Thank you for listening, dear friends. Walk the Pod will be back with Series 64 on Monday 22nd June.

Summing up everything we’ve learned so far about sleep this series, plus a clarification from Cross Border Selector Postie Nige.

Walking my local streets this lunchtime with voicenotes from Cross-border Selector Postie Nige, and Hannah and Ian, on holiday in Spain.

Walking in Kensington Gardens this lunchtime, considering how to sleep well, given everything we’ve learned so far.

In this sixth instalment of Series 63 on sleep, we consider sleep and stimulants, such as caffeine, and sedatives, such as alcohol and sleeping tablets. Join the Walk the Pod lunchtime walk club to play Colour Quest - Poddies are keeping an eye out for red in the environment this week.

Walking in nature for just 10 minutes this lunchtime, rounding up everything we’ve learned about sleep so far. Looking ahead to next week’s episodes and inviting you to join the Walk the Pod lunchtime Walk Club: http://www.patreon.com/rachelwheeley

Walking my local streets amongst the lavender, discussing sleep deprivation and shift work. Whilst shifting your day around can enable an early or a late start, it is seriously incompatible with a young family. Your thoughts on sleep? Go to walkthepod.com.

Walking in the woods this lunchtime, thinking about Matthew Walker’s book Why we Sleep, particularly the section on Sleep and Learning. Sleep, it seems, helps us prepare to learn, acts as a ‘save’ button for what we’ve learned, and can even help with recall within the day of learning if we take a quick nap in between study sessions.
