    Family with Candice Brathwaite

    Lack of sleep is a reality all parents have to face -but how families respond to it varies wildly. We invited the unstoppable Candice Brathwaite - writer, influencer and founder of the brilliant Make Motherhood Diverse - to chat sleep training, adjusting to constantly changing schedules, carving out time for yourself, recovering from challenging life events and dealing with the emotional load of being a very, very tired parent.

    Sleep Story: Rockabye Lullaby

    In this bonus episode, Simba have hopped under the sheets with writer Claire Storrow, to present the first in a series of snooze-worthy stories, designed specifically to help you get to sleep. Research has shown that when you read a great story, your brain actually engages in trying to experience what you're reading: the colours, the scents, the emotions. By doing so you start to engage the visual centres of your brain and turn down the volume on the analytical bit - the pre-frontal cortex. So instead of feeling 'tired but wired' you can start to move towards readiness for sleep and creative dreaming. Simba’s resident sleep psychologist Hope Bastine explains more at the start of the podcast. So tuck in and get ready to get serious about sleep - and seriously chilled out. The Cabin, written by Claire Storrow and read by Jennifer Bequarm.

    Creativity with Sir John Hegarty

    What does it mean to be creative? Can dreams unlock our potential? And is it possible to make a living out of creativity and still get your eight hours a night? We put all these questions and more to a man who has lived and breathed creativity over a career so rich and varied he was knighted for it: Sir John Hegarty. The advertising genius sat down to talk about his experiences leading creative powerhouse Bartle Bogle Hegarty (better known as BBH), the changes he’s seen in creative culture and why he thinks creatives should be fearless - but he doesn’t like risk.

    Relationships with Jenny Colgan

    Is your partner ruining your sleep life? 45% of over 1,000 UK sleepers we surveyed told us their partner was an obstacle to getting a good night’s sleep - and not in a good way. So we thought we’d hop between the sheets with someone who lives and breathes relationships from a creative point of view: author Jenny Colgan. The bestselling romance and sci fi writer shared her thoughts on coordinating sleep schedules, insomnia and bedroom bugbears - and somehow we also got on the topics of sleep paralysis, recurrent dreams and the horror of encountering a sleepwalking child wandering around a Scottish castle...

    Productivity with Alex Soojung-Kim Pang

    Why are we working harder and longer than ever - but achieving less? The author of Rest: Why You Get More Done When Your Work Less, dropped by to discuss it with us. Alex Soojung-Kim Pang reckons we’ve started to think of rest and work as opposites - when actually they’re reliant on each other. We unpicked the details of what ‘rest’ really means, why sleep is so important to creativity and productivity and why the next big thing in our working lives could be the four day week.
