ENHANCING MEMORY, AND AN ICE CREAM TO HELP YOU SLEEP!

June 2, 2019 11 Comments

Why did nobody tell me that midlife would be a constant battle to get enough sleep?! I took sleep for granted until I had children, but since then it’s been a scarce commodity.

I wrote recently about gratitude, after fracturing my skull and realising how lucky I was to be alive.
