To help us answer this question is Lindy Hadges, who is a psychotherapist based in Sydney who specialises in ADHD and ASD.

We all know that we need to get enough sleep - yet sleep is the first thing we're willing to sacrifice in order to do more of the stuff we love!

Dr Moira Junge is a health psychologist and the CEO of the Sleep Health Foundation, as well as serving on the Healthylife Advisory Board.

If we are people of faith, it is almost certain that we will go through times of both doubt and suffering - often at the same time.

How do we cope with those times of uncertainty?  Especially when Western society has tried hard to do away with suffering and hiding that aspect of human life as much as possible.

Dan Sweetman is the host of the 96five podcast The Deep End, which explores the complex tension between faith and doubt, and how Christians move towards living a deep and fulfilling life.

Dan is also the Senior Pastor of Lifepoint Church at Rothwell who are all about loving God, and serving their community of Moreton Bay.
