Millions of us move through our days without getting enough sleep. We know that sleep deprivation can affect our physical health and our mood. But sleep researcher Chris Barnes says a chronic lack of good sleep can also affect how we make decisions and even what we value. He joins us to explore the forces that keep us from getting the rest we need, and offers practical strategies for getting better sleep. Later, psychologist Rachel Zoffness returns to answer your questions about the experience of pain, in our latest installment of "Your Questions Answered." 

Is your parenting style preventing your child from thriving? We explore this question — and share five practical parenting strategies we've featured on Hidden Brain — in our latest YouTube video. Check it out here, and share your parenting strategies with us in the comments!

For this week’s Book Club, Sam Leith, the Spectator’s literary editor, is joined by Shaun Bythell, proprietor of The Book Shop in Wigtown, Scotland, and author of The Diary of a Bookseller series, to discuss the fourth instalment, The Return of the Bookseller’s Diary.

They discuss the strange characters who wander into second-hand bookshops, the customers who haggle over £2 books, and how Bythell’s shop helped turn Wigtown into Scotland’s unlikely book town.

They also explore the changing world of bookselling, from the rise of online marketplaces to the 18th-century bookseller James Lackington, whose ‘buy cheap, sell cheap’ philosophy has more than a little in common with Amazon.

Plus, Bythell reveals how keeping a diary has changed the way he sees his customers, the unexpected consequences of becoming a published author, and why the Covid-19 pandemic proved surprisingly good for business.

Produced by Abigail Brierley.

Podcast: Aspiring Martians
Episode: Coffee on Mars with Peter Giuliano

Could we actually grow coffee on Mars?

And even if we could, would it be worth the space, water, energy, and years of patience required to get a single coffee plant producing?

This month on Everyday Mars, I’m joined by Peter Giuliano, Senior Advisor for Scientific Communication and Engagement Strategy at the Specialty Coffee Association and one of the world’s leading voices on coffee science.

Peter has spent decades studying coffee from nearly every angle, from agriculture and flavor to consumer behavior, coffee culture, and the strange but remarkably durable role this drink plays in human life.

And Mars presents a fascinating problem.

Coffee is not exactly the ideal space crop. It can be environmentally finicky, takes years to mature, occupies a surprising amount of room, and produces relatively little usable coffee for the resources required.

So why bring it?

Because coffee has never just been about caffeine.

In our conversation, Peter explains how coffee became tied to stimulation, social connection, flavor, ritual, and hospitality, and why those qualities could become even more valuable in isolated settlements far from Earth.

We talk about what makes good and bad coffee, growing coffee in controlled environments, instant coffee in space, flavor changes during spaceflight, the engineering behind drinking from a cup in microgravity, the possibility of synthetic coffee aromas, and what the first café on Mars might actually look like.

And because a Martian sol gives us roughly 39 minutes beyond an Earth day, we also make what I believe is an extremely reasonable proposal:

Make it the official Martian coffee break.

A huge thank you to Peter for taking the time to join me today and for sharing his knowledge, curiosity, and perspective. And of course, thank you to Nick Thorburn for the stellar theme music, Ceci Giglio for the incredible graphics, Jero Squartini for the amazing animations, to RDan, Leila, Inka, and Carl for admining the Facebook group, and to my family for supporting this project, even when I start insisting that “coffee Go-Gurt” is legitimate spaceflight history and therefore absolutely appropriate dinner-table conversation.

Abby Stewart was sitting on the edge of her bed, desperate to take a satisfying breath.

Her chest felt tight. She was constantly yawning, sighing and trying to pull in more air — but the next breath never felt like enough. Her tests were normal, and she was told it was probably anxiety.

This is the letter Abby wrote to that younger version of herself, reflecting on the years that followed: discovering breathing pattern disorder, learning that her air hunger was real, retraining her breathing and eventually becoming a Senior Respiratory Physiotherapist and PhD candidate researching breathing pattern disorder.

It’s a story about the experience of feeling frightened by your own breathing — and how something Abby once wanted to hide ultimately became the reason she now helps others understand theirs.

Thank you to Abby Stewart, @thebreathingphysio, for trusting me with this letter and sharing such an important part of her story.

Find Abby at @thebreathingphysio and learn more about her work with breathing pattern disorder and air hunger.

When Mia Farina got seriously ill in 2014, she thought she had a bad case of pneumonia. But it turned out to be far worse: It was the start of chronic lung disease related to the months she spent working in and around ground zero after 9/11. 

Back then, Farina was a rookie cop, present when the second Twin Tower came down. She and her Brooklyn squad ran to escape the burning debris. “At one point, you couldn’t run because the stuff that was collapsing was so deep,” she said. “So it would go up to my thigh, and you would feel people’s hands and feet because…they’re all under the rubble.” 

Farina lives on Long Island, surrounded by other responders who also are sick and dying from their work at ground zero 25 years ago. She and tens of thousands of other 9/11 responders and survivors were promised care through the World Trade Center Health Program, a federally funded lifeline meant to treat the long-term medical consequences of that day. But funding has never kept up with the number of people who continue to get sick. 

This week on Reveal, reporter Lynn Hallarman, a Long Island doctor turned journalist who once treated 9/11 responders, explores the community of responders around her, their reliance on a program that’s been unstable for decades, and the science behind why people are still getting sick.

Suzanne enlightens Muriel about the Beaufort Scale and explores the remarkable story of its creator, hydrographer Francis Beaufort, who went to sea as a boy, was shipwrecked in the Far East, took part in Napoleonic sea battles against the French and in 1805 devised a brilliant empirical scale full of poetic language to evoke the changeable quality of the wind and its effect on the sails of a ship and the surface of the sea. How should one assess a breeze, a gale, a hurricane and learn to survive at sea without Beaufort's system, which even the French adopted? Daniel Defoe guest stars. Beaufort's unorthodox private life, recorded in his ciphered journal – using the Beaufort cipher – adds a layer of intrigue.
