Walking along the banks of the Serpentine in Hyde Park this morning. This series, Walk the Pod is discussing whimsy. And today, the concept of whimsical Top Trumps. If we were to make a Top Trump of a gnome, it might have the highest whimsy rating, but the top rating for expensiveness would certainly go to the British Royal family. All this week, we are taking photographs of yellow things on our walk and posting them to the Walk the Pod Discord server. Join here for free to play: https://discord.gg/wHNDhdUXxS

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, particulary 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.
