The weekend is almost here and that means many of us can catch up on some much needed sleep – even if you work from home, your hectic schedule can see you miss out on some much-needed rest during the week.

How much sleep do we really need to be at our best though? And is there any link between a good night’s rest and a successful business?

Let’s grab a coffee and take a look…

Inspiration Work from home

Commuting is a complete waste of time. Remote working is the way to go.

In a world where most office workers can do the day-to-day from the comfort of their own home, it makes no sense for them to waste hours of their valuable time travelling to work – at least not every day anyway.

So if your business isn’t offering employees the chance to work remotely, here are four irrefutable reasons why that has to change…

Flexible working Work from home

The first contact between England and Morocco is thought to have been King John’s failed attempt to get Moroccan support against the French in the thirteenth century.

Things have gotten a bit better since then though and the two countries have enjoyed a trading relationship since the fifteenth century – in fact, the UK is one of Morocco’s oldest partners and was the nation’s main trading partner during the nineteenth century.

And this working relationship is something that is being worked on by the current UK government, not least to take advantage of the country’s unique and strategic location at the threshold of Europe and the gateway to Africa.

Although Rabat is the political capital of Africa, Casablanca is the country’s business capital – and because no one wants a three-hour flight as part of their commute, it makes sense to keep in touch with colleagues or clients via conferecne call.

So here’s how to quickly set up a teleconference between UK and Morocco, using nothing more than a mobile or landline telephone.

BlackBerry has launched its first ever touchscreen-only Android handset in what could be a last-ditch attempt to keep a hand in the smartphone market.

Last year saw the launch of the Priv, the first of its handsets to work on the Android operating system, but it failed to make an impact on a market dominated by Apple and Samsung – the SIM-only handset price of £569 didn’t help either.

So will the Dtek50 succeed where both the Priv and the Z10 failed?
