In this episode, we reminisce about life before the internet, discussing topics such as the loss of personal conversation, letter writing and the joy of simplicity.  We answer some listener's questions about internet sharing of personal information and the dark web.  We also talk of the benefits of the World Wide Web and Facebook, being able to connect with family and friends and the instant gratification from information and research.  What will the future be like for the next generation of internet users?

How have your sleep patterns changed over the years? Do you drift right to sleep and wake up several times or do you find it hard to fall asleep at all? 

We discuss how sleep can be a friend or foe depending on your stage of life and stress.  Factors like perimenopause and menopause can wreak havoc on your sleep and may cause night sweats, insomnia and the need to invest in more pajamas!  We offer suggestions that might offer some relief, and we look for humor in the heat!
