Well I’m sure you’re not terrible parents. I don’t have children but what I do know about all sleepers is that it’s about routine. Same things every night, in the same order. No screens or other stimulus 2 hours before bed. Exercise or any

The Roomba is the single worst tech product I've ever purchased, and I've brought a lot of junk. So much more hassle than running the hoover round a few times a week. I wonder what thier repeat purchase rate is? I suspect it'

Would you not agree that ‘pulling together’ should be the norm for a successful society? I agree that the high levels of stress are unhealthy however.

While I agree I know a few ex Facebook employees and they all, genuinely, believe thst FB cares about user privacy. I suspect they've convinced good people to go bad with some strange coolade and all those free lunches.

The UK is in record levels of debt, people are using food banks and the NHS under attack from both industry and government. This would definitely be a good use of public funds. Priorities?
