Africa Melane speaks with Michelle Baker, a clinical psychologist, to unpack why 7 or 8 hours of sleep doesn’t automatically mean you’re well-rested. They explore the real markers of high-quality sleep, the difference between sleep quantity and quality, and why many South Africans are waking up tired—despite a full night’s rest.
