A 2025 study, published in Frontiers in Psychology, surveyed more than a thousand college students to find out how they thought food affects their sleep and dreams. About 40% said certain foods make their sleep better or worse. Only 5.5% said food changes their dreams, which suggests there is not one surefire, nightmare-inducing snack, so much as sensitive people whose guts and sleep are tightly linked.

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.

They discuss the transformation of recovery techniques from the early days of simple practices like hydration and nutrition to the modern inundation of gadgets and supplements. Key highlights include the necessity of foundational recovery methods such as proper sleep, balanced nutrition, and social support. The hosts also stress that while advanced recovery tools have their place, they should complement, not replace, the basics.

This is a function of quantity and quality and you are meant to wake up feeling refreshed. For 90% of the population that means 7-9 hours sleep each night and breathing well while you are asleep. It's normal to take 10 to 20 minutes to fall asleep after lights-out. If you're dropping off within five minutes or find yourself falling asleep during the day, you're likely not getting enough sleep. But if you're still tossing and turning after 20 to 30 minutes, get up.

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,"

Water, better nutrition, eight hours of sleep. I'm struggling [with the latter] now that school has come back,

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 been in the entrepreneurship game long enough to spot when something big is coming. And I'm telling you right now: I believe biohacking isn't just another wellness fad. It's a legitimate business strategy that's giving smart entrepreneurs a massive competitive edge. The numbers don't lie: why entrepreneurs need this now Eighty-seven percent of entrepreneurs deal with mental health issues versus just 48% of regular people. But here's the real kicker - it's not just stress. I think it's about trying to maintain peak performance while your body systematically breaks down under the demands of building something meaningful.

Sleep is not just a human quirk or a nighttime luxury, it is one of biology's most ancient survival tools. Long before humans, mammals, or even brains existed, primitive creatures were already following sleep-like cycles.

"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."

Cooling mattresses feature a combination of cooling covers, breathable layers, and body temperature control technology. An affordable price point enhances their attractiveness.

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.

"In general, individuals who went to bed earlier engaged in more frequent and longer physical activity per day than those who habitually went to bed later."

The Ozlo Sleep earbuds are highly effective for blocking noise, helping users to fall asleep quickly even in loud environments, making them a solid investment for quality sleep.

I’d sleep at the office, wake up, and work all day. It was a very unhealthy lifestyle.

In our anti-sleep culture, being sleep-deprived is a badge of honor, making it difficult for college students to prioritize their mental health through adequate rest.
