Sleep affects everything, from your energy and mood to cognitive function and immune health which is why it is such a critical part of a well-rounded self-care routine.

Getting the right amount of sleep is linked to a lower risk of chronic illness like heart disease and diabetes and helps build resilience to stress. 

CEO of Healthy Minds Debbie Childs told Dean Miller on 4BC Breakfast, "The average adult is between seven and nine hours, that's the recommended amount."

"It does vary as you get older, it does tend to reduce slightly."

"However, I think each person needs to find the right amount of sleep for themselves as well and putting good practices in place to be able to find that," Mrs Childs said.

Leading Paediatric Nutritionist Mandy Sacher believes the government-backed Health Star Rating system is being 'gamed' by Australian food manufacturers.

To combat this misinformation Mandy is launching the Real Food Rating which is a new, independent front-of-pack labelling system that gives Australians the deal details.

Mandy Sacher told Dean Miller on 4BC Breakfast, " There is no independent watchdog, there's not a body of nutritionists watching over how these stars are assigned."

Despite almost 90 per cent of economist predicting a rate cut, yesterday the RBA decided to hold interest rate at 3.85 per cent.

Federal Shadow Treasurer Ted O'Brien told Dean Miller on 4BC Breakfast, "There's heightened volatility now, but this is why it's incumbent on the government to get your own house in order and stop spending so much."

"I mean, the government's increased spending by 17 per cent over the last two years and so there's just zero fiscal responsibility." O'Brien continued.
