The coronavirus pandemic has upended many of our lives, from the ways we shop and eat, to how we work and socialize. Now, it’s affecting our sleep. 

While there is little data on the link between sleep and COVID-19 specifically, studies show a lack of sleep is directly related to a weakened immune system. Research shows that people who don’t get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick when exposed to viruses like the common cold.

The Unison Benevolent Fund understands that the outbreak of COVID-19 presents extraordinary financial challenges for music makers and music professionals in Canada. This is a very difficult time for everyone, especially for those whom are dealing with cancelled performances and festivals to the shuttering and slowdown of storefronts and shops with no apparent end in sight.

This #SelfcareSunday, we sat down with Sam Arraj, a CPA CA at Seeds Chartered Professional Accountants and Manrke Business Management for tips on how to navigate personal finances during this difficult time.
