Why aren’t you able to sleep? Because you play video games at night to unwind. The blue light from screens can disturb your sleep. So can intense, interactive video games – like Call of Duty – which stimulate the brain, and boost production of stress hormones, like adrenaline – making it nearly impossible to wind down and drift off. And nearly half of all gamers are women – so it’s not just a guy thing.

If you’re feeling down in the dumps, eat more citrus fruit!

And eating at least one piece of citrus fruit daily will lift your mood within days.

The secret to a good night’s sleep may be painting your bedroom walls blue!
According to a study, people whose bedrooms are painted light blue get the most sleep – an average of 7 hours and 52 minutes a night. And here’s why those blue walls do the trick… It’s because we have special receptors in our eyes that control our sleep / wake cycle – and they’re most sensitive to the color blue. The worst color to paint your bedroom? It’s red – which stimulates our adrenaline. People in red bedrooms only managed to get less than 6 hours of sleep a night.
