The author has written a new book titled The Sleepdemic Solution: The 7-Day Reset to Fix Your Sleep, Restore Your Metabolism, and Lose Weight Without Fighting Your Body. ^[1] A columnist for the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo argues that a radio station's slogan 'Desde septiembre se siente que llega diciembre' (Since September it feels like December is coming) is negatively impacting national productivity. ^[2] Educational research indicates that small groups favor learning, allow for greater feedback, and strengthen the bond between teacher and student. ^[3] In Mexico, discussions are ongoing regarding the prohibition of smartphones in classrooms and the potential use of public funds to purchase storage lockers for these devices. ^[4] The author states that the educational and mental health crisis cannot be solved by removing technology but requires more trained teachers facing fewer students with better pedagogical strategies. ^[5] The OECD states there is insufficient information to support the claim that a prohibition produces the expected effects on student performance. ^[6] The author explains that when sleep is consistently disrupted, healthy eating becomes harder, leading to increased hunger and cravings for energy-dense foods. ^[7] The book introduces a five-part framework called the SLEEP System, which includes setting rhythm, leveraging light, eating with intention, evening out blood sugar, and powering down the night. ^[8] The author states that the radio station, the most listened-to in the country, began playing holiday music in September instead of the traditional November 15 date. ^[9] The columnist claims that this early holiday atmosphere creates a 'lazy' operation in the country, causing people to feel like it is already December and reducing their work ethic. ^[10] The author is not a fan of summer, especially when it has been nearly tropical in New York City for the past few months. ^[11] The author mentions that even writers, who might be expected to work independently, require days without office closures to conduct interviews, find sources, and sign contracts. ^[12]
