Do you have a problem sleeping? The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says insufficient sleep is a public health problem linked to chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart problems, obesity, and depression. The implications for human longevity are obvious. 

So what can be done to get a better night's sleep - even if you think you've tried everything?

The Silicon Valley startup, Koko Labs, has developed Full Sleep, a six-week program guided by artificial intelligence (A.I.), using a non-wearable bedside tracker and the tried and tested sleep improvement technique, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). In this episode we meet Koko's Chief Product Officer, Rosaria Mannino, and A.I. guru Luca Rigazio, to learn more about this pioneering technology.

As the world mourns the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, the Live Long and Master Aging podcast extends its deepest sympathies to members of the Royal Family and everyone who loved and respected the UK's longest-serving monarch.

We want to pay our respects to the Queen in this, the 200th episode of LLAMA. She devoted her life to public service and, as King Charles noted, it was "a life well lived" - a phrase that resonates with the values and goals of our podcast. It accurately reflects the selfless life of Queen Elizabeth, but could also be applied to many members of our own families and close friends. 

In 2018 Peter Bowes interviewed Sky Bergman, a professor of photography and video, about her film, Lives Well Lived. It features the stories of forty people who share their experiences, wit and wisdom, with remarkable candor.   

In honour of Queen Elizabeth and every soul who has enjoyed a life well lived, we are republishing Peter's conversation with Sky. It is both inspiring and sobering, with honest reflections on the aging process.
