Welcome
Tired and paying for it
I know when I’m tired, I can’t seem to be as productive as when
I’m well rested. And it seems I’m not alone. Sleeplessness affects
most of us like this and according to a national survey we are a
tired lot! For many reasons, we wake tired and continue to be
tired throughout the day, and there are a host of ramifications.
In this edition of Be, we look at why we’re feeling like this and
explore some possible solutions. It may challenge you to change
your night time foods and bedtime routine in the hope of getting
more zzzzzzz.
For a couple of years now, CQUniversity’s nursing students have travelled to Nepal as part
of their learning experience. It has been hugely successful and the latest student cohort
has returned with some remarkable tales. Be has produced a photographic spread to
share with you just some of their experiences.
Be has also had the opportunity to catch up with alumnus William McInnes, of Blue
Heelers and SeaChange fame, about his life now as an author. As the patron of the National
Year of Reading, he puts a unique and typically Aussie spin on his love of reading and
writing.
As you may recall, this year CQUniversity celebrates 20 years as a university, so in this
edition we go back in time and look at the events that shaped the year of our birth – 1992.
It was a time of Olympic success for Australia and it was also the year our Prime Minister
was dubbed the ‘Lizard of Oz’.
I hope you enjoy this edition and look forward to hearing your feedback. Post us a
message via traditional post, email or via our Facebook group site.

Words from Noosa
I am a BLM student of
CQUniversity in Noosa. I
picked up the BE magazine

join the Facebook page. The
magazine is great by the
way :)
