Research has proven that getting a good night’s sleep is good for your mind and body. But a midday nap can be helpful too. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your nap:
1) Sleep for 20-30 minutes at most. Napping more could make you groggy.
2) A dark, cool, quiet place will help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
3) Having a regular nap time will help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer too.
Who wants to admit they have cellulite? I certainly don’t (want to admit it that is). And is it bad that when I read I that 85% of postpubertal women have some level of cellulite I felt relief?
No, it’s not bad. It’s normal. Who wants to feel like the only person with something nobody likes and nobody wants? It’s like getting stuck with the hot potato. So, I have cellulite. I’m not proud of it or about to start shouting it from rooftops. (I’ll just post it on the Internet.) And while I’d love to be the 15% without it, I’m just glad to discover I’m not one of the few.
So if you have cellulite try to find some comfort in knowing that most of us do. You’re not the only one.
