President Biden uses a CPAP machine✪最准一肖一码100%澳门

Presidents — they’re just like us! This week it was revealed that President Joe Biden has recently started using a continuous positive airway pressure machine to treat sleep apnea, a condition that affects nearly 1 billion people across the globe.

Certain late-night activities may lead to later teen bedtimes✪最准一肖一码100%澳门

What teens choose to do with their evening may impact their sleep onset time (not the time you 澳门2023历史开奖记录✪Get in bed, but the time you actually fall asleep). A study from Brigham Young University published in the Journal of Research in Adolescence found that some things teens do in the evening can lead to earlier bedtimes, longer sleep times, and greater ease falling asleep; accordingly, other activities can hinder and shorten sleep. The activities that promoted sleep included doing homework, talking to parents, and playing sports in the early evening, as well as other activities that use some brainpower or physical exertion a while before going to bed. In contrast, hanging out with friends, viewing social media, visiting public places, snacking, and watching TV all cut into sleep time when they took place late at night. Researchers are hoping that parents and pediatricians use this information to encourage healthy sleep times for their teens.
