We begin with news that Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, received close to 230-thousand dollars in bonuses, above her salary in 2021. We get reaction to the payout from Duane Bratt, Professor of Political Science from Mount Royal University.

Do you have a TV in your bedroom? If so, could that be the reason you feel chronically tired? We get the low down on if watching your favourite show in bed can have a negative impact on your sleep from Dr. Charles Samuels, Medical Director of the Centre for Sleep & Human Performance.

Still on the topic of sleep, could it be that ‘napping’ is bad for your health? We discuss new research on the topic that says that may just be the case. We get details on the study, from Dr. Ted Jablonski, our ‘on-call’ family physician.

Finally, we look at the importance of learning the art of ‘negotiating’ at a young age. We speak with Angelique De Montbrun, a Mother, and Head of Marketing at financial education website “Mydoh.ca” who explains why she believes it’s never too early to teach your kids the skill of negotiation.
