Chrissy Teigen shared a deeply personal photo on Instagram Stories from her father’s funeral, showing herself, John Legend, and her daughter Luna sitting on the floor in front of his flower-covered casket. The internet did what it always does: tore her apart, calling it "narcissistic", "disturbing" and accusing her of exploiting her own father's death for social media engagement. Meanwhile, others defended her, saying everyone grieves differently.

So we want to know, where do you draw the line for healthy sharing when it comes to life's toughest moments? Is there a positive way to use our platforms during a milestone, or are some milestones meant to stay offline forever?

A proposal being discussed in Russia suggests switching off electricity and internet access at night to encourage people to spend less time online and more time connecting offline, with the aim of addressing declining birth rates. The idea has sparked debate, with critics arguing that economic pressures, housing costs, and financial uncertainty play a far bigger role in family planning than late-night screen time. In this episode, we unpack the proposal and ask whether limiting technology could really influence how people build relationships and start families.

5MM RUSSIA TO SWITCH OFF ELECTRICITY AND INTERNET AT NIGHT TO HELP BOOST BIRTH RATE (23 JUNE 26)

Driven by data from Euromonitor International, the article highlights a notable shift in global consumer behaviour as growing awareness of sleep health and personal caffeine sensitivity changes lifestyle habits. Rather than giving up coffee or energy drinks entirely, individuals are becoming much more intentional about the timing of their consumption. This shift is manifesting in an increasingly popular trend of pulling caffeine intake forward to much earlier in the day to ensure that the body has ample time to fully metabolize the stimulant before bedtime, thereby protecting vital deep sleep cycles.

For the late-afternoon and evening hours, the demand is moving rapidly toward caffeine-free and herbal alternatives. As consumers prioritize overall wellness, the market is seeing a major rise in specialized functional teas and decaffeinated beverages. Ultimately, the article underscores a broader cultural pivot toward proactive sleep hygiene, where managing our daily chemical relationship with caffeine is recognized as a fundamental pillar of achieving a restorative night&#39;s
rest. Karabo is known for drinking a lot of caffeine/energy drinks, can we challenge her to cut down to, at least, 2 a day and only in the morning?
