  • Try reading A Separate Peace by John Knowles, I could never get past the first chapter in high school (or watch something really boring on netflix). Sometimes a glass of soy/lowfat milk and then laying in bed and counting backwards from 500 by seven works for me (it forces me to stop thinking about how I can't sleep and…

  • Light beer can be deceiving, because the most caloric part of beer is alcohol. You want to get that buzz, but you don't want to have too many calories, and that can be quite the conundrum. In order to cut the calories in 'light' beers (and still be able to technically call them beer) brewers have to cut the alcohol…

  • Sleep disorders are often misdiagnosed as insomnia, which can be sooo frustrating for those who have them (especially when you have tried melatonin, prescriptions, relaxation techniques, and pretty much everything in the book). Here's hoping you can get a good nights sleep.

  • You may have something called shift work sleep disorder, bright light treatments are said to work best. Look up shift work sleep disorder then check out www.verilux.com.

Its hard to tell which ones really look more natural, I guess you could try…

  • It does not actually restrict freedom of choice, does taxing cigarettes actually prevent anyone from using them? No it does not, but it could certainly make using/obtaining the product a bit less hassle free. There are probably better ways to go about making people healthier, like reducing the cost of healthy food options…

  • Drink a small glass of water (I usually get a mineral/tonic water with lime in a rocks glass so you still feel like you are having a real drink and don't kill the mood with a glass of regular water) between every 2-3 drinks while you are out, and glass of water when you get home. Another glass of water as well as 2 tylenol…
