Real Health: The Importance of Sleep
On this week’s show I’ll be talking about sleep, something so many people are interested in - probably because we feel we aren’t getting enough. With many workers having returned to the office, how will this impact our sleep?
I’m joined by Professor Andrew Coogan, behavioural neuroscientist who specialises in sleep. He is also the director of the Chronobiology and Sleep Research Laboratory at Maynooth University.
Andrew says there are many reasons why we need sleep, including for learning and memory: “Our brains replay the information we have acquired during the day while we sleep. That helps strengthen our memory for the things we want to remember.”
We discuss how much sleep we should be getting. While eight hours is often suggested to be the right amount of sleep each night, Andrew says it's not that simple: “The amount of sleep we need changes with what stage of life we’re at...then within that, we are all different as people. There are probably some people out there that five hours of sleep is enough for them.”
We also talk about napping, using phones before bed and whether too much sleep is a bad thing.

Budget 2022: something for everyone but is it enough? #Sponsored
After much speculation, leaks and spinning, the budget is finally out and on this episode of the Budget Briefing, Sorcha Corcoran is joined by economist Jim Power, Kevin McLoughlin, Partner & Head of Tax, EY Ireland and Neil Gibson, Chief Economist, EY Ireland to help sift through the detail and find out what money has gone where and how businesses and the economy will be affected by the government’s plans.
“What I took away from this budget,” Neil Gibson explains on the show. “Was it was beginning to change the narrative to the budget is about Ireland Inc or the world around us, not just can I look in the ready reckoner and see whether I've €2, €4, €6, €10 more or less? Now we'll never fully come away from that of course, but I think that was an interesting tonal message. It felt more like a state of the nation type address almost than a budget with the sort of theatre and pantomime you normally expect with one of those. So I thought that was probably the most interesting thing.”

Real Health: Top Ten Tips to Overhaul your Diet with Aveen Bannon
On this week’s Real Health episode, I’m bringing you the top ten tips you’ll need to overhaul your diet.
No fads, no gimmicks, just easy things you can do to improve your health. I’ll be looking at why we shouldn’t skip meals, the importance of hydration and why incorporating colour into every meal can be a simple yet effective way to improve what you eat.
To discuss all this, I’m joined by Dietitian with the Dublin Nutrition Centre, Aveen Bannon.
Aveen says we can over complicate health. She says we need to get back to basics and should be inclusive rather than exclusive when it comes to food: “It’s as unhealthy to focus on the health of the food as it is the “unhealthiness” of a food. You want to have a relationship where you are still enjoying food but are still getting the nutrients you need.”
We also talk about how fibre has become the forgotten nutrient and why it’s so important to shake oat or almond milk in the carton, every time we have it.

The economy is on the up but so too is inflation and costs – looking ahead to Budget 2022
On the first episode of The Budget Briefing, business journalist, Sorcha Corcoran looks ahead to what Budget 2022 will bring and is joined by economist Jim Power, Kevin McLoughlin, EY Ireland’s Head of Tax and Annette Hughes, EY Ireland’s Director of Economic Advisory Services, to discuss what businesses and taxpayers are hoping and expecting in the midst of uncertain times.
With society and businesses opening up again in the wake of Covid and despite the hit to the government finances, tax cuts and pension increases are on the agenda once more, but is it sustainable? And what of housing, transport and the SME sector? How will they be affected after the Minister for Finance's budget speech on October 12th?
“This budget is something that is going to be very challenging,” Annette Hughes explains on the show. “The increase in inflation might limit the scope to which the government can start to increase taxation given that inflation is already rising and the costs of living is rising…I think really important for me is that we don't jeopardise the future generations with high levels of debt. So it's about having a medium term, sustainable, economic growth trajectory and ensuring the debt is well-managed and sustainable over the next number of years.”
