Do You Have a TV in Your Bedroom?

Chances are that even if the answer is no to that question, you spend a bit of time looking at a screen of some sort. Whether it is your television, a smartphone, or a tablet of some sort, lots of people will stare at a device before hitting the sack. Most devices emit blue light from their screens. Now this color light has some benefits during the daylight hours. It can help reactivity and attention spans but these benefits may become troublesome at night. When you are getting ready to wind down, blue light can hinder melatonin production. Pretty much all light at night can mess with your body's melatonin production levels. Before indoor lighting, people spent most of their nights in relative darkness with only lamps and candles as light. Eerily, according to a Harvard Health study, the lights at night may be messing with people in more ways than one. Bungled circadian rhythms, cancer, obesity, and heart problems may be linked to getting too much light at night. 

Reasons Why

There may be several reasons why we like to stare at a screen when we lay down for bed. It may feel like a way to unwind or it could just be a habit. No matter what, it may be a habit you might want to kick. If you are having trouble getting to sleep, your phone or a movie is probably not the answer. I know a lot of people love to sleep with the TV on, but it may not be in your best interest. A dark, cold, and quiet room is recommended by most sleep specialists. In the long run, if you are having trouble sleeping, they say to try to keep your bedroom a place where all you do is sleep or have intimate times.

Those Litle Devils!

I Only Looked Away for a Split Second As parents, we do our best to look out for our children and keep them safe. The same can be said about most pet owners, as well. Sometimes, we may cross the line and spoil them a little bit... or, maybe a lot. The interesting thing about raising children and taking care of pets is that there is a dichotomy in the relationship. As mentioned before, we want to keep them safe. On the other hand, we do our best to keep our things safe from them! Pets can make a real mess of things in a very short timeframe. From chewing shoes to chewing sofa cushions, dogs have the capability to do some damage. Cats and their claws seem to think that the couch or recliner is their personal scratching post. While some people's pets behave or are docile, some can be real terrors. You may love your dog or cat, but let's face it, sometimes they can be jerks. My cat seems to think that 3 a.m. is the perfect time to tear across the entire house and across almost all

Spring Has Sprung - More Time Outdoors

Longer Days and Warmer Weather This winter has had its ups and downs. Just when you think it was over, here came another week or more of cold weather. I guess winter just wasn't ready to loosen its icy grip just because an underground dwelling rodent said it was time. While the groundhog was a little off with his prognosticating this year, spring seems to have finally come. All in all, I bet a lot of people are happy about this change of season.  Not to be a stick in the mud, but spring coming is always a mixed bag for me. I do enjoy the milder weather, but I seriously could do without all the allergies. I am sure the over-the-counter allergy medicine companies are happy for my patronage, I feel like I have to make a personal budget just for nasal sprays and pills. I look at other people who aren't allergic to grass and wonder what it feels like to be able to mow your own yard without wearing a respirator.  Outdoor Furniture Some days can be worse than others
