11 Reasons Why You Sweat in Your Sleep - www.health.com

After seeing previous shows (Out of Order, 2019 and Signal to Noise, 2024) from Sheffield experimental theatre group Forced Entertainment, I was intrigued to see where Tim Etchells and co would go next. Three artists perform in Cold Sweat: Richard Lowden, Terry O’Connor, and Claire Marshall. The show, set on a stage strewn with foam cups, strange props, and tables, heavily draws on lip-syncing and AI voices.

Cold Sweat, performed by Forced Entertainment, is drastic, comical and absurd. Yet, the Sheffield-based company known for its mission of playing with possibilities in theatre and performance somehow manages to use the oddity of it all to create a subtle exploration of AI in our lives. The performance, which debuted in 2025, follows a similar format to their 2024 show Signal to Noise, where the artists lip-sync to AI voices speaking Tim Etchells’ wacky texts. The guise of a story lies in the setting: a room strewn with tinsel, discarded paper cups, boxes, overturned tables and blow-up furniture. The three cast members (Richard Lowdon, Claire Marshall and Terry O’Connor) each arrive wearing a different coloured ruffled wig, and we watch them pick up the tables and set out bottles of alcohol, preparing or cleaning up a party of sorts.

Among cancer patients, the high financial cost of cancer care is a prevalent problem. This financial burden is also associated with potentially harmful behavioral strategies that patients might use to cope with costs, such as delaying or forgoing treatment and skipping medications. Collectively, researchers refer to this impact as financial toxicity.

Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) could transform diabetes management for millions of Americans with type 2 diabetes who don't take insulin, according to findings published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The clinical trial found that adults using CGMs spent approximately five additional hours each day within their target blood sugar range compared with those receiving routine care. Nearly twice as many CGM users also achieved an A1c level below 7%, a common treatment goal for people with diabetes.
