SLEEP BETTER EVERY NIGHT TIDBIT

  Keep the gap of 4 hours between your exercise and sleep. Exercising keeps your body temperature elevated for about 4 hours, inhibiting sleep. Power down your mobile and other electronic gadget about an hour before. This will relieve the stress on eyes and you will sleep better. Keep the gap of 2 to 3 hours between your dinner and sleep. This will ensure your food is properly digested and you sleep well. Avoid caffein intake after mid-day. It will prevent you from deep sleep. Use right size of the pillow to support the natural curve of your neck. A regular sleep routine keeps your biological clock steady.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the New York Attorney General allege that YouTube has been using children’s data without their parents’ consent and — in what comes as a surprise to pretty much no one who’s ever looked at the site — making money off of that data via targeted advertising. The complaint alleges that Google and YouTube violated child privacy laws because they knew there were child-directed channels on the site and were aware they had users younger than 13. Of the...

The lyrics spoke of emotional extremes, sung in an extraordinary, rural-tinged, English blues by the Devon-born Beth Gibbons, of “the blackness, the darkness, forever” in Wandering Star, or of the feeling that “nobody loves me, it’s true, not like you do” in Sour Ti...
