Your old pillow. According to Brown University researchers, using a familiar pillow helps the brain relax. And that’s important because when we’re in new surroundings, our brain automatically stays on high alert for danger. There’s even a name for it: The First Night Effect. And it was discovered 50 years ago by clinical psychologists at Ohio State University.

But the feel and even the smell of your old familiar pillow can cancel your brain’s hyper-vigilance, allowing you to calm down and get some sleep. So unpack your pillow first… and when your child goes on their first sleepover, have them take their own pillow.

When you’re washing dishes, make sure the water temperature is at least lukewarm. If not, you risk leaving behind microorganisms that’ll make you sick. That’s according to food scientists from Ohio State University. They say, water that’s at least 75 degrees Fahrenheit will reduce bacteria to safe levels. Because if you leave behind food remnants, bacteria, like E.coli, can grow – and your family will blame your cooking for giving them food poisoning – instead of blaming whomever was on clean-up duty.
