Celebrate World Sleep Day
Sleep can be one of the underrated aspects of people’s lives, but for those who have sleep problems, getting enough sleep can be a real challenge.
World Sleep Day aims to help those who have sleep problems, educate people all over about the importance of sleep, and change the way people view and experience sleep by giving people valuable resources to help them in their daily lives.
History of World Sleep Day
World Sleep Day focuses on the issues related to sleep, sleep medicine, education about sleep, and the social effects that sleep deprivation can have on everyday life.
According to the American Sleep Association, over 50 to 70 million people have a sleeping disorder, over 25 million have sleep apnea, and the most commonly reported sleep problem is insomnia.
Organized by the World World Sleep Day Committee of World Sleep Society, the holiday started with a group of health professionals and providers studying in the area of sleep medicine and sleep research.
World Sleep Day aims to bring people together, from everyday people to healthcare providers, to discuss and help those with sleep problems find solutions.

Because the temperature in the Antarctic is well below zero, the urine can’t evaporate and just combines with the glaciers.

The Madagascan magpie-robin (Copsychus albospecularis) is a species of chat in the family Muscicapidae, the Old World flycatchers. Endemic to Madagascar and about 18 cm (7 in) long, the male has mostly black-and-white plumage, whereas the female has a white wing patch, but more subdued greyish-brown overparts with pinkish-buff underparts. The species's diet includes insects, such as cockroaches, beetles, bugs and grasshoppers, as well as spiders, earthworms, small lizards, amphibians, and occasionally fruit. The female tends to feed on the ground, while the male forages higher up in the vegetation. This picture shows a female Madagascan magpie-robin of the subspecies C. a. pica, photographed in Montagne d'Ambre National Park, located in the far north of Madagascar.

Start by shopping for all of your fruits and vegetables. Then, one by one, place each ingredient into a pan with 2 cups of water and 1 tsp of salt. Bring the water to a boil, and then let it continue to boil for 10 to 15 minutes. Next, strain the water from the pot and place it in a jar or bowl. Add 1 Tbsp white vinegar and allow to cool. Once cooled, you are ready to use your dye!

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident. -Hugh Walpole, writer (13 Mar 1884-1941)
