Why Teachers End Up Living on Coffee and Cake

In this episode, Martin and Dan talk about one of the most common habits in teaching. Skipping breakfast, grabbing coffee on the go, then spending the rest of the day absolutely starving, exhausted, and picking at whatever is easiest.They get into why this happens so often in schools, how it affects your energy, mood, and food choices, and why breakfast is about a lot more than being “healthy”. It is about giving yourself a better chance in a job where you barely get a minute to think.They also share their own old habits, from flapjacks and fancy coffees to biscuit tins, corner shops, and trying to survive on caffeine alone.If you are a teacher who keeps saying “I’m just not hungry in the morning” or “I don’t have time”, this episode is for you.
