I worried my toddler would roam after moving to a bed. A new home security system made me feel safe again.

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.

The Dream Of Life Without Sleep Is Actually A Dystopian Nightmare

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?

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.

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.

What Can CBD Do for You?

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.
