Sleep is so important for restoring physical and mental health. Sleep also refreshes the mind and repairs the body.

Sleep deprivation is also one of the main issues that confront new parents.

Is the modern man a hunter or a gentleman? A manual labourer or a technophile? In today's culture the modern man usually is a mix of many things. The modern man must be adaptable.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing.

DADDY EATS LAST discusses what it means to be a man and a father in modern society and all the issues that comes with both.
