I wanted to help her sleep soundly in her new "big girl" bed. But once she did, I didn't expect my own sleep to continue to be disrupted as well. I woke up at every creak of the house, wondering if it was my daughter roaming around, exploring her newfound freedom. I knew it was incredibly unlikely, but I feared that she would unlock the door and walk outside in the middle of the night.
We spend one-third of our lives asleep. This biological fact is something that, with time and technology, is less and less taken for granted. In many science fiction stories, the future of sleep is cozy and idyllic - an elevated state living within dream world. In others, sleep is more of an evolutionary shackle that gets in the way of productivity. The latter focuses on questions that haunt anyone who feels there are not enough hours in the day. What if we didn't have to sleep?
"[My train of thought] let its line down into the stream. It swayed, minute after minute, hither and thither among the reflections and the weeds letting the water lift it and sink it until-you know the little tug-the sudden conglomeration of an idea at the end of one's line."
I feel like these days with cannabis, we see all sorts of stuff. But wellness, it's tapped into, but it's not as tapped into as what you would expect, like joints or vapes, said Sawyer. 20 years ago, it was nothing.
I've surfaced from sleep in many weird, not-wonderful ways: waking up in my student accommodation in Maynooth to find I was not only in my boots, but sharing a single bed with two other fully grown people springs to mind.
After host­ing the International Symposium on Olive Oils of Croatia and the Adriatic Coast in September, orga­nized by Olive Oil Times, the spot­light returned from October 9 to 11 for the eighth World Championship of Olive Picking. "We're build­ing a des­ti­na­tion brand that doesn't imi­tate but inspires," said Ivana Jelinčić, direc­tor of the Postira Tourist Board. Alongside the Tourist Board, the event was sup­ported by the Municipality of Postira, the local agri­cul­tural coop­er­a­tive and the Aldura Sport agency.
When you think about it, you likely poke a foot out, too, probably without even realizing it. It's natural to want to slide a few toes into the cool night air, especially when you can't fall asleep. It feels like an instant reset, and may help you fall asleep pretty much instantly - and there are quite a few reasons for that.
When Shakespeare wrote "To sleep, perchance to dream," was he thinking wishfully? Remember when you could sleep anywhere, anytime? Your head hit the pillow and you were out until morning. Seems those days vanished somewhere between middle age and retirement, replaced by nights spent staring at the ceiling, performing word games on your smartphone, and tapping your charging Apple Watch to check on the time until it was light.
His team, who are based at the University of Sydney looked at data from 60,000 people over a period of eight years, noting how long they sleep, the minutes they spend exercising and their diet quality score (DQS). The DQS score, which is marked out of 100, is based on intake of vegetables, fruits, fish, dairy products, whole grains, vegetable oils, refined grains, processed meats, and unprocessed meats.
Some on social media say it's a hack for getting more and better sleep and to reduce snoring. The claims - which are not backed by science - are taking off on places like TikTok, sometimes pushed by people working for companies selling related products. "The studies behind mouth tape are small, the benefits are modest and the potential risks are there,"
It crept in quietly: the late-night scrolling sessions, the reflex to check notifications during conversations, the way I'd reach for my phone without thinking the moment I felt bored or anxious. It wasn't dramatic like a fight with a friend or a bad hangover, but it was just as corrosive. When I finally admitted to myself that my phone might be my most toxic relationship, I knew I had to do something about it.
For the kids, there's a lot to love. There are the action montages, a bright retro futuristic setting, a visual style that is gee-whiz superhero cool, but in a comic way - shiny and light and not over the top. The movie is just more palatable for kids than most other Marvel movies, emotionally and cognitively. The superheroes are relatable as family but they also play the part of role models well, interacting with and caring deeply about the public they serve.
Sturdy Saturn, the planet of structure and commitment, backtracks into mystical Pisces today, setting the week off to an emotionally mature start. Have your boundaries become hazy? Consider where you need to redraw the line and protect your energy. Be honest with yourself about areas where you have lost touch with your faith or discipline. The moon coasts through optimistic Sagittarius today, bringing inspired energy to uplift your conversations and mood.
Cannabidiol (CBD) acts very differently from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); it's non-psychoactive and not intoxicating, and it does not induce abuse or dependence. It's highly fat-soluble; thus, it enters the brain easily. However, it has low solubility and absorption in water, which produces variable pharmacokinetics and contributes to the difficulty in studying its multiple mechanisms of action. Bioavailability via inhalation averages about 31 percent, while oral bioavailability is only about 6 percent in humans. Therefore, don't bother eating it.
"I've tried it a couple nights in a row and it literally works. It's the best trick I've ever tried. One night I swear I did it twice and I remember thinking, 'No way is this going to work,' and the next thing I knew it was 7:30 and my alarm was going off."
The Prone Pillow ZZZ caught my attention immediately. This isn't a slightly tweaked rectangular pillow with marketing copy about 'multi-position support.' Comfort Space Co. has completely reimagined what a pillow should be for stomach sleepers.
THC-rich products help many users fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, especially when taken in moderate doses before bed. Too much THC can disrupt REM sleep.
