Synopsis: Every first and third Wednesday of the month, The Straits Times helps you make sense of health matters that affect you.
We continue the conversation on sleep in this episode. Sleep is one of the three pillars of a healthy lifestyle and there has been much interest in how we can sleep better in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken up our daily routines, with so many people still working from home.
In this episode, ST senior health correspondent Joyce Teo speaks to Professor Michael Chee, the director of the Centre for Sleep and Cognition at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. Prof Chee has spent close to two decades studying sleep and its impact on cognition and behaviour.
They discuss how the pandemic has affected sleep, the lessons learned from the last two years and the relevance of sleep targets set by the US-based National Sleep Foundation (NSF).
Highlights (click/tap above):
01:05 What has Covid-19 taught us about sleep?
03:39 Sleep targets set by US NSF - how relevant is it to Singapore?
06:27 Difference between self-reported sleep and objectively measured sleep
09:24 Sleep targets and recommendations differ based on individuals
13:08 Effects of sleep habits on health

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.
The world’s top climate science body recently (April 4) released a how-to guide for reducing greenhouse gas emissions fuelling climate change. Turns out, humanity has many tools at its disposal, from greener buildings, to renewable energy to nature-based solutions, such as planting mangroves.
Green solutions can also help nations meet their development goals, says the report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Working Group III, which focuses on mitigating, or reducing emissions.
The problem is that the amount of planet-heating emissions, especially from burning fossil fuels, pumped into the air keeps rising and this is pushing up global temperatures. The IPCC makes clear that for global average temperatures to be capped at 1.5 deg C, a key Paris Agreement goal, emissions need to start to fall quickly immediately.
The worrying outlook comes as many nations are scrambling for fossil fuel supplies because of supply shocks.
In this episode, ST environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss the findings of the report with one of its lead authors, Professor Jim Skea from Imperial College in London. Prof Skea, co-chair of Working Group III, tells us about the solutions at hand, including the likely need for machines that suck CO2 out of the air, and the imperative to start cutting emissions now.
Highlights of conversation (click/tap above):
02:54 What are the key messages in the IPCC’s Working Group III report?
04:43 What will the role of new technology be in reducing emissions?
06:42 Will cutting emissions help advance developmental goals?
12:25 The WGIII report rounds up the IPCC’s sixth assessment report. How should policy makers respond?
