Caprice Bourret: ‘I no longer feel safe in London' amid rising antisemitism
Caprice Bourret has revealed she no longer feels safe in London, saying a surge in antisemitism has left her fearing for her family's safety. The Jewish former model and businesswoman, 53, has called the capital home for over 30 years but says the current climate has shaken her sense of security. 'It's such a terrible time to be Jewish because of the hate we can and do receive,' she told MailOnline. 'I don't recognise this country anymore. Nobody should feel afraid or intimidated because of their religion. The whole concept is bizarre to me, but it's happening right now.' Bourret, who rose to fame in the 1990s as a lingerie model and fronted major campaigns for brands including Diet Coke and Pizza Hut, lives in West London with her husband, American financier Ty Comfort, and their 11-year-old sons, Jax and Jett. She says recent events have forced her to make difficult choices to protect her children. 'I had to take the mezuzah down from my door,' she said, referring to the small decorative case containing Torah verses traditionally displayed on the doorposts of Jewish homes. 'I was afraid for the safety of my children.' Her fears echo growing concern across the UK Jewish community. According to the Community Security Trust (CST), the UK has seen record levels of antisemitic incidents in the past year, particularly since the outbreak of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. The CST recorded over 4,000 antisemitic incidents in 2023 — the highest number since records began — including verbal abuse, vandalism, and threats targeting visibly Jewish individuals, schools, and places of worship. Despite the distressing climate, Bourret says the experience has brought her closer to her faith. 'It's made me closer to Judaism,' she said, 'and the community a lot closer.' Bourret is not alone in her concerns. Earlier this year, actress Dame Maureen Lipman warned that Jewish voices are increasingly being 'frozen out' of British cultural life. Speaking alongside other Jewish artists, she highlighted how performers have been excluded from festivals and events unless they publicly condemn the Israeli government — an expectation not placed on other faith or ethnic groups. Lipman called this trend 'institutional antisemitism hiding behind progressive values.'

Are we chasing perfect sleep all wrong? The hidden side of trackers and orthosomnia
When the Data Becomes the Problem From Helpful Tool to Harmful Obsession Anxiety about sleep quality Constantly checking tracker data Extending bedtime to inflate sleep scores Feeling unrested despite hours in bed You Might Also Like: Want to burn more calories? New study reveals surprising link between sleep time and daily activity Tech Isn't Always the Villain, But It's Not a Doctor How to Break the Cycle and Sleep Better Establish a calming bedtime routine Practice mindfulness or deep breathing Journal your thoughts Take a warm shower to relax In an era where technology claims to optimize everything—from steps to stress levels—sleep has become the next frontier of self-quantification . But ironically, the pursuit of 'perfect sleep' through wearable trackers may be fueling a disturbing new phenomenon: orthosomnia Coined from the Greek root 'ortho' (meaning correct) and 'somnia' (sleep), orthosomnia is the obsessive chase for flawless rest, often triggered by the feedback from sleep tracking devices. While these tools were designed to promote better sleep hygiene, for many users, they're becoming a source of anxiety, poor sleep, and in some cases, even insomnia-like Chen, a marketing manager and part-time boxing coach, told Good Morning America that her journey to track sleep left her more exhausted than rested. 'It was this cycle,' she recalled, 'I knew my sleep score was going to be bad, and then I'd get stressed about it. It was too much data.'That stress is at the heart of orthosomnia, says Dr. Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist and assistant professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Speaking to GMA, Robbins noted, 'The information they receive stresses them out, and then it causes them to struggle the next night.' For people with perfectionist tendencies or Type A personalities, the problem compounds as they obsessively chase the 'ideal' sleep to a research article published in PubMed Central titled 'The Tale of Orthosomnia,' sufferers commonly show symptoms like:The article also links orthosomnia with nomophobia—the fear of being without one's mobile phone. Because most sleep trackers require smartphones for data analysis, this dependency can amplify emotional distress, further disrupting sleep. Consumer Sleep Technology (CST), while revolutionary, isn't infallible. Experts caution that these devices aren't always accurate in detecting sleep stages or disturbances, and shouldn't replace clinical evaluation. 'These are data recorders, not diagnostic tools,' the PubMed study concern, as the researchers argue, is that individuals might delay or avoid professional sleep assessments altogether, relying instead on unvalidated tech feedback that could worsen their your sleep tracker is causing more stress than solutions, experts suggest taking a step back. Dr. Robbins recommends unplugging from the device and returning to time-tested sleep strategies:The goal isn't to banish wearables entirely but to use them as one tool among many, rather than the sole authority on your sleep sleep tech continues to evolve, long-term studies are needed to assess its psychological impact. Until then, balancing tech insights with intuitive self-care may be the best path to truly restful sleep.
